Challenge Cup Round 2 Preview

It is Round Two of the Challenge Cup this weekend. Everyone is hoping the season is back on track after the arctic conditions of January that saw a staggered first round take place over 3 weekends. The prize for success is a crack at semi-professional or French opposition when those clubs are entered into Tuesday's Third Round Draw at the Metro Centre in Gateshead.


Results from the competition last weekend were:

Normanton 6 Wigan St Pats 4

West London Sharks 16 Nottingham Outlaws 38

Hull Dockers 26 Pilkington Recs 12

Myton Warriors 20 Halton Simms Cross 15

Shaw Cross Sharks 8 Leigh Miners Rangers 44

Stanningley 0 Wigan St Judes 22

Drighlington 26 West Hull 10.

Excellent results from Normanton, Myton and Drighlington in particular where the Pennine League high fliers conceded the first try before stretching out to a 20-4 halftime lead over ther National Conference League Premier Division opponents.

The draw for this weekend's fixtures was made on Nelson's famous HMS Victory and brought up the following ties:

Castleford Panthers v Thatto Heath

Drighlington v Castleford Lock Lane

Hull Dockers v Leigh Miners

Normanton v Hunslet Warriors

Ovenden v Myton Warriors

Rochdale Mayfield v Leigh East

Siddal v Oulton Raiders

Wath Brow v East Hull

Wigan St Judes v Milford Marlins

British Police v Leeds Metropolitan University

Edinburgh Eagles v Blackwood Bulldogs

The Royal Navy v Nottingham Outlaws

Warrington Wizards v The Army

Encouragingly both Leigh clubs are still in the competition and I'm sure I won't be the only one looking out for results on Saturday evening.
