Sheffield Eagles will return to Wembley Stadium on Saturday 8th June in the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup Final following a 18-28 victory against York Knights at the LNER Community Stadium yesterday afternoon.
Matty Marsh was the only change made from last weekend’s loss, as he started at full back for Mark Aston’s side, after missing last week’s defeat in the league to Wakefield Trinity.
Cory Aston also started in the halves once again, as he made his 200th career appearance.
In only the second minute, the ball found itself played towards the left wing and Matty Dawson-Jones managed to get the ball down in the corner to hand Sheffield an early lead.
After being awarded a couple of penalties within the coming minutes, the visitors scored their second try of the afternoon in the seventh minute as Aston’s grubber kick through was touched down by James Glover, who scored his ninth try of the season in all competitions against his former side.
Marsh was next to score against his former side seven minutes later after the full back managed to get the ball down under the posts after Anthony Thackeray’s neat kick through over the top of the York defence.
