Broncos take on Barbarians - in all
Southern Affair

London Broncos will tonight play a team of representatives from other leading clubs in the south of England at Woollams, the home of St Albans Centurions, based on Harpenden Road, St Albans, Herts.

The Barbarians' players will come from various southeast clubs, including the capital's second professional rugby league club, London Skolars, and National League 3 clubs St Albans Centurions, Hemel Stags and South London Storm, as well as from some Summer Conference clubs.

The game will kick off at 7.30pm.

Tony Rea has elected to use the same (all British) team that started the match last Sunday against Wigan Warriors. He commented: "It's a very important hit-out for us as it will be our final game before we kick off the new season.

I think it's tremendous that the game down here is now in such a position as to be able to stage such a fixture. It speaks volumes for the growth of our sport in the south."

Supporters heading to the game are advised that, due to road works on the A1081 out of St Albans, there is now a new route to take to get to Woollams.
