Following their victory in February’s game, Hull KR will be looking for another win, this time at the KCOM Stadium in the west of the city.

Tickets are still available for a clash that promises to be as thrilling as ever.

Fans of both sides are being asked to donate food at collection points being set up at the KCOM Stadium.

It is part of the Teaming Up For Families initiative, which is holding a food bank collection for Hull Food Bank.  All items will be used to provide support for local people.

Fans are asked to donate non-perishable food and grocery items – from cans of beans to bottles of shampoo – at the Dugout Bar in the stadium’s South Stand.

Those who want to help but are unsure what to donate can find suggestions here.
