The Bulls' Boxing Day friendly at Castleford remains set to go ahead as planned despite adverse weather conditions.

In a statement released earlier today, Cas chief executive Richard Wright said the club would work around the clock to ensure the clash would not be affected.

He said: "Our team of ground staff are working all out here at the PROBIZ Coliseum to try and ensure Sunday's game is on.

"The pitch is visibly thawing out under the sunlight and measures are being taken to make the pitch be in playable condition for Sunday.

"Safety is paramount and we also have staff working hard to make sure the terracing and walkways remain safe for supporters.

"I will inspect the pitch again tomorrow so watch this space."
