RUGBY league fans in Cumbria can have their photos taken with the
sport's most famous trophy ahead of Whitehaven and Workington Town's

The Carnegie Challenge Cup will tour RL's West Cumbrian heartland on

Haven's development officer Alan Davidson said: "This is a great
opportunity for all supporters and players to have their photo taken
with the cup.
"Carnegie are the new cup sponsors and are trying to promote the
game. They were keen to get in to Cumbria."
Town travel to Super League Leeds Rhinos on Friday night and Haven
