Local rivalries will once again take centre stage on Magic Weekend when the Manchester venue hosts a full round of Stobart Super League fixtures for the first time on May 26 and 27.

Some of the biggest battles in British sport will be played out at the home of Manchester City FC, where three matches take place on Saturday May 26 and four on Sunday May 27.

Saturday’s action begins with Castleford Tigers facing neighbours Wakefield Trinity Wildcats at 1.00pm before Super League newcomers Widnes Vikings renew their rivalry with Warrington Wolves at 4.00pm. The opening day’s action climaxes with what promises to be another compelling Hull derby, Hull FC v Hull Kingston Rovers at 7.00pm.

The action continues at 12 noon on Sunday, with Catalan Dragons and London Broncos doing battle in an Anglo-French tie which will be followed at 2.00pm by Huddersfield Giants versus Salford City Reds.

The penultimate game of the Round 15 fixtures sees Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos go head-to-head before St Helens and Wigan Warriors play out a repeat of the 2010 Super League Grand Final in the weekend’s finale.
