Barrow Raiders have organised their Challenge Cup second round tie for Saturday, February 7 (ko 6pm).
They will entertain Super League new boys York Knights after demolishing amateurs Wigan St Jude’s at the weekend.
It means that Cumbrian rugby league enthusiasts can watch two eye-catching cup ties under lights that weekend.
Workington Town are playing their attractive tie with St Helens on the Friday night (February 6, ko 7.30pm) after their victory over gritty amateurs Blackbrook on Sunday.
Before then, however, respective coaches Paul Crarey and Jonty Gorley will be keeping their charges grounded as they have important Championship games this weekend.
Barrow, who beat Town 40-0 in the first game of the season in the new-style Championship, entertain Salford on Saturday night (ko 6pm) while Town are on the road again to Rochdale Hornets on Sunday (3pm ko).
Town will be playing on a newly-installed surface at the home of Rochdale AFC, formerly Spotland, and now the Crown Oil Arena.
The football club took the step of changing the surface because they feared the regular problems with a waterlogged pitch would affect their chances of getting out of the National League and back into the Football League.
They had the old pitch ripped up with new drains put in, a gravel bed and the new turf which contained artificial fibres.
Once the football season is completed there will be a small number of Hornets games still to be fitted in and more pitch renovations are expected to start by the end of May.
