and live on Freeview channel 276
Sunday’s Betfred Challenge Cup fourth round tie between Wakefield Trinity and Hunslet ARLFC will be the first time the cousins have played against each other and both will be wearing number six. Hunslet are reigning National Conference champions and Championship side Trinity expect a bumper crowd for the first competitive game in front of their new stand.
It was a dream draw for the Gale clan and Jordan, the younger cousin, said: “We’re really close, we are quite a close-knit family so we do a lot together. When the draw came out I was pretty chuffed. It’ll be a good occasion; there’s quite a lot of family members going to watch and they’ll be making a day of it, but the family ties apart, it’s a good draw and it’ll be a good day. The Hunslet lads are looking forward to it and they are giving him [Luke] a bit of stick.”
