The Scottish Rugby League Conference Champions the Edinburgh Eagles are to head south this Sunday in the Rugby League Conference Premier Semi Final where they will play Parkside Hawks (Hunslet).
The Eagles, undefeated in 2011 will take on an impressive Hawks outfit that will be aiming to clip the Eagles wings in what is expected to be a close encounter. Edinburgh were drawn against Peterlee Pumas in the quarter final stages of the National Competition and were the first Scottish team to progress past that stage.
Should the Eagles progress into the Final they will be playing either Accrington & Leyland Warriors or Hammersmith Hill Hoists in Coventry on the 11th September.
Edinburgh are delighted to have progressed this far.
"It's been a big couple of weeks for the club, we regained the Scottish Title and have gone unbeaten in the domestic competition which was one of our goals for the 2011 season. To progress into the national competition and to be the first Scottish team to progress this far is great for not only the club but rugby league in Scotland. Hopefully we can pull out another win out of the bag. I didn't think we played particularly well against Peterlee in the last round but we've been working on the elements where we went wrong and hopefully the boys will put that into use."
