[edit]The London Skolars bowed out of this season's Ladbrokes sponsored Challenge Cup at the third round stage following a narrow 14-16 reversal at fellow Betfred League 1 outfit, Whitehaven R.L.F.C.[1]
The London Skolars became the first club to host the world’s first Transatlantic rugby team, Toronto Wolfpack, in their Championship game against Yorkshire side Halifax R.L.F.C. on Saturday 28 April 2018.[2]
