SUPPORTERS heading to Warrington Wolves’ clash with Huddersfield Giants on Friday may now wish to head to The Halliwell Jones Stadium a little earlier than usual.
The club have confirmed that the Academy fixture due to take place between the two clubs this weekend has been moved to be the curtain-raiser to the Super League clash, giving the club’s young stars a chance on the bigger stage.
The Academy game, which is included in the price of a match ticket, will kick off at 5.35pm before the first-team match at 8pm.
Warrington’s under 18s will look to, temporarily at least, move level on points with leading pair Wigan Warriors and St Helens with a victory – they currently sit third having won five of their seven matches this year.
By contrast, Huddersfield have won three and lost four to sit seventh in the competition table.
