Workington Town have landed a superb draw in the third round of the Challenge Cup.
Provided they get through their second round tie at amateurs Blackbrook, Jonty Gorley’s men will host Super League giants St Helens.
There’s also every incentive for Whitehaven in their second round test at Sheffield as the winners will have Warrington Wolves as visitors.
Barrow Raiders still don’t know who they will be playing as the first round tie between Wigan St Jude’s and Leigh Miners Rangers was postponed on Saturday.
However if Barrow get through against the eventual winners of that tie they will be at home in the third round to new Super League entries York Knights.
Holders Hull KR will begin their defence of the Challenge Cup against either Brighouse Rangers or Lock Lane after the draw for the third round of the competition was made.
The winners of the tie between Brighouse and Lock Lane were given a bye straight through to Round Two due to the demise of Featherstone Rovers.
The draw for the last 32 has ensured all 13 Super League clubs that are competing in the competition will once again be drawn away at lower-league opposition.
