Richard Tate has named a 20-man Hull FC Scholarship squad to face Hull KR Under 16s at Sewell Group Craven Park tomorrow evening (7.00pm kick-off).

It will be the final game of the 2024 campaign for the Under 16s tomorrow night, bringing down the curtain on their season with what promises to be a thrilling Scholarship encounter in East Hull.

In a joint initiative between both clubs, both FC and KR players will wear the socks of their amateur clubs in a nod to the grassroots game which has facilitated every player’s development in Rugby League.

There are six changes from the squad that faced Wigan’s Under 16s two weeks ago.

Cole Bone, Thomas Cheshire, Josh Horne, Zak Nelson-Hewitt, Caleb Paleaaesina and Jackson Smith are all primed and ready to return to action.

They replace Owen Bartle, Billy Boulter, Lewis Ells-Fontana, Travis Minns-Strachan, Archie Sugden and Jaiden Tallantire.
