Former fly half Chris Bell, now playing in Australia following his move to Hull Ionians at the end of last season to play in National 1, played in the 2015 and 2016 finals, captaining the winning teams at Twickenham.

Huddersfield flanker Lewis Bradley played alongside Bell in the 2016 final and also appeared in last year’s success, when Yorkshire beat Durham 14-7 in the showpiece.

There are two other matches to note at Lockwood Park this weekend, both on Saturday.

Firstly, on pitch one, the Huddersfield Giants Scholarship side take on Wakefield Trinity (2pm), which is a pay on the gate rugby league game.

Then the Huddersfield A play Halifax in their rugby union derby on pitch two (3pm).
