Following up last season's inaugural event, the 2020 final of the 1895 Cup (for tier two and three clubs) will be at Wembley, as part of a double-header with the Challenge Cup showpiece.

London Broncos (Championship) have confirmed they won't enter. It's rumoured League One pair North Wales Crusaders and Workington Town aren't bothering either.

It seems like the Broncos didn't fancy a possible trip to Wembley along with the local support that could bring with possible future regular supporters.



The feeling of utter devastation when you pick up your mug and realise you already finished your tea.

This competition lost all credibility the moment clubs were permitted to opt out. Broncos might baulk at a midweek trip to the game's heartlands but, given they're full time, it doesn't seem much of an imposition. Part-time London Skolars backheeled the 2019 1895 Cup because they couldn't afford to lose money playing in it. At least they were honest!
