Hornets double-header at the Crown Oil Arena this Sunday

We are excited to announce that Rochdale Hornets’ men's and women's teams will take part in a double-header at the Crown Oil Arena this Sunday.

The day's action will begin at midday when our Hornets Women face off against Stanningley in the Northern League 1. 

Both sides will be searching for their first league win of the season as Ben Bird's side set their sights on climbing the table. 

Following this, our men's first team will face Goole Vikings in the quarter-finals of the 1895 Cup. 

It will be a third meeting between the two sides in 2026, with the Hornets defeating Goole away from home in pre-season before running out 35-10 winners at the Crown Oil Arena in Round 8 of the Betfred Championship.

One match ticket provides entry to both fixtures. 

Admission is priced as follows:

• Adults: £18
• Concessions: £13
• Juniors: Free
