Head of Youth, Shane Eccles, said: “We are looking forward to taking an Academy and Reserves select squad up to Whitehaven for what should be a great challenge for the players. This is a great opportunity to see our young players competing against a Championship team.
“From speaking to Whitehaven we know they have big ambitions for the season and when they approached us about playing a friendly we were keen to get this arranged.
“It should make for a great day and hopefully we will see a good number of supporters travelling up to watch and support our young players.”

Wigan to play Whitehaven in friendly
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
