The Malcolm Reilly Challenge Trophy will be up for grabs at 4 Pines Park on Sunday, July 14, as part of the annual Golden Eagles Day.
Named after Great Britain great Malcom Reilly, Manly and Newcastle play for the annual trophy when they meet for the first time each season in honour of the man who made a big impact at both clubs.
Reilly played 89 games for Manly from 1971-75 and played in their premiership winning teams in 1972 and ’73.
He later coached Newcastle to their first premiership victory against Manly.
The trophy was first played for in 2007. Of the 17 matches played, Manly have won the trophy 10 times.
