The event will return to Bloomfield Road in 2019 for the fifth consecutive year.

The pair will meet in the last of four games on Saturday, May 18.

Halifax and the promoted Bulls haven’t met at the Bash in Blackpool since the first staging in 2015, when the Bulls won 18-4.

The Wolfpack beat Toulouse 43-30 having been invited to launch Super League’s Magic Weekend earlier this year.
