Joint Statement from ORLFC and Castleford Tigers: Benidorm Bash

Oldham Rugby League and Castleford Tigers learned yesterday, via email communications sent directly to supporters, that ORLFC have apparently withdrawn from the Benidorm Bash Festival.

Both clubs would like to make clear the decision to cancel the fixture, set to take place on January 10, has been taken by its organisers.

We understand the significant frustration both sets of supporters have experienced as a result of the organisers' actions.

For clarity, neither ORLFC or Castleford have received any monies from ticket sales, with supporters urged to contact Benidorm Bash for refunds.

Both ORLFC and Castleford intend for the fixture to go ahead, instead taking place in the UK, at a rescheduled date to be confirmed.
