Whitehaven and Barrow have landed plum home draws in the sixth round of the Challenge Cup.
The West Cumbrians, in particular, have landed the plum tie as St. Helens, the current Cup holders and Grand Final winners last season will visit the LEL Arena.
Barrow Raiders were also celebrating after they pulled another Super League side, Huddersfield Giants.
Whitehaven team manager Des Byrne said: “It’s absolutely fantastic. After we beat Doncaster away in our first tie I said we would pull Wigan in the sixth round.
“This is even bigger and it really has set the fans talking. It’s going to be a great day for the club.”
Whitehaven earned their place in the sixth round on Sunday with an impressive 38-10 home win over Championship rivals York City Knights.
There’s a good chance, too, that the game could be shown on television, which would add valuable cash to the coffers.
Huddersfield will provide the opposition as the Raiders have the opportunity to do some genuine ‘Giant killing’ to highlight their credentials.
Barrow coach Paul Crarey said: “It’s a fantastic draw for us. To get a top four Super League club at home is what everyone wants.
“Huddersfield are riding high with four wins from five games and have some household names on show.
“I know the coach Ian Watson and he will leave no stone unturned in his preparation for his visit to Barrow.
“It will be a great occasion for the Barrow faithful to enjoy.”
The ties are going to be played on the weekend of March 25, 26 and 27 with the televised matches to be announced shortly.
The full draw is: Catalans v Featherstone; Whitehaven v St. Helens; Warrington v Wakefield; Hull KR v Bradford or Leigh; Wigan v Salford; Leeds v Castleford; Sheffield v Hull FC; Barrow v Huddersfield.
