Wigan v Salford match rescheduled

Correspondent

Wigan’s fixture against Salford at the DW Stadium originally scheduled for Friday August 12 has been changed to Sunday August 14, 3pm kick off following consultation between the two clubs and the RFL.

Speaking about the move, Wigan Warriors Chairman Ian Lenagan said: “Since Wigan Athletic are scheduled to play their first home Barclay’s Premiership game of the season on the Saturday, we have agreed to move our fixture against Salford City Reds to Sunday afternoon.

“We are sorry for any inconvenience this late change may bring for fans but, with Wigan continuing in the Carnegie Challenge Cup, no other dates were practical.”
