YORK City Knights have arranged another pre-season friendly - away to League One rivals North Wales Crusaders a week on Sunday.

The Knights moved to organise another fixture after the games against Hull FC and Featherstone earlier this month fell foul of the weather.

Head coach James Ford had said his new-look side had needed another full outing after an at times disjointed display in their defeat to Castleford Tigers last Friday night. That game would otherwise have been their only warm-up match before the season kicks off with an iPro Sport Cup tie against Hunslet Hawks on February 21.

The fixture against North Wales will be at The Rock, near Wrexham, the home of Cefn Druids Association Football Club, on February 7, with a 2.30pm kick off.
