Arguably the most fiercely contested fixture in the Rugby League calendar takes place tomorrow when the RM take on the Para’s at Colchester Garrison.

The Royal Marines are current holders of the Trafalgar Cup having put 54points on the Paras last season in Taunton however the previous year it was the Paras who took the spoils so it is a difficult one to call this years.

Despite being unable to fulfil the Courage Cup match against the RAF Regt the Royals are on a good run just now having scored some good results earlier in the season, the last being a win over the Army Academy side in June on Armed Forces Day.

Tomorrows match will kick off at 1700 hopefully avoiding the worst of the days heat and will be played at the Colchester Garrison facility on Circular Road North which is also home to the Colchester Harriers Athletics Club
