Super League\'s Magic Weekend postponed

Super League's Magic Weekend postponed

The event was due to take place on May 23-24th

Super League's Dacia Magic Weekend in Newcastle has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The event, which sees all 12 Super League teams play at the same venue over two days, was set to return to St James' Park on May 23-24 after the 2019 edition was held at Anfield.

Sport has been decimated by Covid-19 and the Magic Weekend is yet another casualty to the sporting calendar, but Super League intends to play the two-day event during the 2020 Super League season at a later date.

Super League chief executive Robert Elstone said: "It's regrettable that Super League has had to make this decision - but in light of the current situation, it is sadly unavoidable.
