The match which is taking place at the Featherstone Rovers Millennium Stadium, will see West Yorkshire Police Rugby League Team members representing Yorkshire Police against Lancashire Police in a War of the Roses Rugby League battle which precedes an All Stars War of the Roses battle between ex-professionals.
