It’s that time of the year for a good old-fashioned Hull derby set in East Yorkshire.
This time, it will be Hull KR hosting Hull FC as the early Good Friday kick-off comes to town.
Rovers go into this one on the back of a superb 34-10 win over Castleford Tigers in the Challenge Cup, whilst FC were cast out by Huddersfield Giants.

Injury news
Hull KR have been rocked by the news of a horrific injury to Mikey Lewis who will be out for over two months. Jordan Abdull will be fine after passing a HIA following last week’s win over Castleford and there may even be a surprise call-up for Ethan Ryan. Meanwhile, Hull head coach Brett Hodgson will sweat on the fitness of Carlos Tuimavave, whilst this fixture comes too soon for Jamie Shaul as Andre Savelio is a doubt. There is still no Connor Wynne despite his good form.
Kick-off time
The game will kick off at 12.30pm on Friday afternoon.
TV details
The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Arena from 12pm on Friday.
