Francis Cummins has named an 18-man Academy squad for tomorrow evening’s tie with Wigan Warriors Under 18s at Hull YPI (7.00pm kick-off).

The young Black & Whites bounced back from their defeat to Warrington last month with a resounding victory over Wakefield Trinity Under 18s last time out, but another stern test lies ahead against the side currently occupying second place in the league.

There are four changes to the side that faced Wakefield just under two weeks ago.

Jack Charles, Lennon Nicholson, Mason Tempest and Joe Ward drop out.

They are replaced in this week’s 18-man squad by Callum Barfield, Will Kirby, Matty Shepherdson and Will Wilson, with the latter two players in contention to make their Hull FC Academy debuts.

The 18-man squad to face the Warriors is as follows:

Jordon Baker

Callum Barfield

Kieran Calvert

Lennon Clark

Owen Haldenby

Will Hutchinson

Ben Johnson

Callum Kemp

Lloyd Kemp

Will Kirby

Elliot Middlemas

Matty Shepherdson

Callum Smith

Alistair Swyer

Joe Thompson

Jon Turner

Ryan Westerman

Will Wilson

Entry is free for members, £5 for non-members and £2 for junior non-members. Please note, it is cash only.
