Wagon Lane

Bradford & Bingley's Wagon Lane ground has again been selected as the venue for the Sovereign Health Care Priestley Cup final.

The Management Board confirmed its selection to stage the August 30 showpiece at their meeting on Thursday.

They also selected Spen Victoria as the venue for the Sovereign Health Care Priestley Shield final on Sunday, August 9.

Both clubs have proven ability of staging matches. Bradford & Bingley won rich praise last year after overcoming horrendous weather conditions to host the 2008 final between Pudsey Congs and Woodlands, while Spen Victoria won wide acclaim for the way they staged the 2008 Heavy Woollen Cup final between Wrenthorpe and Barnsley.

Chairman Graham Reid said: "Both clubs have experience of handling big matches and I am sure the two grounds will prove to be fitting venues for our finals."
