The League Trophy final, which will kick off at 7pm on Friday at the Flamingo Land Stadium, will be the last-ever game for Rovers as they are folding at the end of this season.Rovers player-manager Mikey Barker said: "Itis Itis Rovers have been going since 2015. I want to thank Curtis Rose for giving me memories that will last me forever, from a North Riding FA Cup to league titles and cup wins.
“I have huge respect for Edgehill and they are a quality side.

Rovers will be boosted by the return of Luke Jones for the final on Friday night.
Barker said: “We have a strong 16 that have had plenty of rest. Luke (Jones) is back from injury which is a massive boost, and we also have Sam Pickard fit along with Charlie Birley flying back especially for our last game.
"It will be a sad and emotional day regardless of the result and we are dying to sign off in style. I wish all the best to Edgehill and hopefully it will be a cracking game for all to watch.”
Admission to the final is £3 and £1 for concessions.
