West Riding County FA Challenge Cup winners Silsden will virtually have home advantage when they meet East Bowling Unity in the annual Charity Shield.

The match is to be staged at Keighley's Cougar Park on Friday, August 9 (7.30pm).

It is the first time the match between the Saturday and Sunday county cup winners has been staged at a venue near to the teams involved.

The decision was partly made because the county ground at Woodlesford is unavailable while it is prepared for the new season, but could be a permanent switch if it is a success.

Silsden won the Saturday competition by beating Campion 1-0 to earn their place against County FA Sunday Cup winners East Bowling Unity, who beat fellow Bradford Sunday Alliance side Stanley Road in their final.

Admission will be £3 adults, £2 children and OAPs, with proceeds being shared between the nominated charities of the mayors of Bradford and Keighley.
