Dewsbury Rams v Batley Bulldogs Competition: Win a pair of tickets to the Heavy Woollen Derby on Boxing Day


Reporter Series readers - and rugby league fans - will have a chance of claiming an early Christmas present with our special competition.
We have teamed up with Dewsbury Rams this festive season to give away a pair of tickets for the club’s Heavy Woollen Derby with Batley Bulldogs on Boxing Day (Friday, December 26, kick off 12pm) at FLAIR Stadium.
The ‘friendly’ annual fixture is always highly-anticipated - with this year’s traditional affair coming ahead of the 2026 campaign in which the two teams will be coming face-to-face in the new-look Betfred Championship.
The second tier of rugby league for 2026 has seen the Championship and League 1 competitions merge, resulting in an Easter Sunday showdown between the two local rivals at Mount Pleasant before the Rams welcome the Bulldogs to FLAIR Stadium on Sunday, August 23.
But first up is the Boxing Day clash - and here is how you could be there.
