All i know...

Featherstone Rovers v The Army

Queens v Doncaster

Pilkington Recs v Batley

Barrow v Blackpool

Gateshead v Whitehaven

Workington v Lezignan

Leigh Centurions v Lokomotiv Moscow

Sheffield Eagles v Toulouse

Leeds Met Carnegie v Rochdale Hornets

Widnes Vikings v Saddleworth

Wath Brow Hornets v London Skolars

Keighley v Pia

Kells v Hunslet

Halifax v Loughborough University

Dewsbury v Carcassonne

How many of these ties will wind up been reversed as the Amateur side can't find somewhere to host it?

Siddal v Swinton -Possibly at The Shay, though Halifax are at Home too so could depend on what Football is due to be played.

York City Knights v Wigan St Patricks

Featherstone Rovers v The Army

Queens v Doncaster - Perhaps at headingley? Cost could be prohibitive though

Pilkington Recs v Batley - Knowsley Road?

Barrow v Blackpool

Gateshead v Whitehaven

Workington v Lezignan

Leigh Centurions v Lokomotiv Moscow

Oldham v Sharlston

Sheffield Eagles v Toulouse

Leeds Met Carnegie v Rochdale Hornets - What are the Uni Facilities like? Rochdale won't bring more than a few Hundred.

Widnes Vikings v Saddleworth

Wath Brow Hornets v London Skolars - Possibly at The Recre? or even Wath Brow's place as, no disrespect, Skolars won't fill a coach.

Keighley v Pia

Kells v Hunslet= Played Halifax at The Recre a few years ago. but Wath Brow may also want to play there. maybe one of the games switch to Saturday?

Halifax v Loughborough University

Dewsbury v Carcassonne

When are the fixtures?

I have never been to a cup game that didn't involve a Superleague side and I am really tempted to go and watch Featherstone v the Army.

The Army RL team get a lot of coverage in Soldier magazine.

6th/7th March

Looking for an upset ? Siddal versus Swinton, perhaps, on the evidence of the Lions' woeful effort at Dewsbury last Sunday.

Gateshead always seem to get to face another NL side

All amateur teams get is £2,000 for entering the comp and
another £1,000 if they lose the 3rd round game.
The pro teams get the gate money,(whether home or away),as well as
£9,000 for entering the comp and £3,000 if they lose.

should put the queens and leeds met matches both at headingley carnegie as a double header.

Met will definately be at Headingley.

if thats true, then can't see many games being moved grounds. as there's nothing in it for the amateur home club

Could the record score be in question at the Halifax game perhaps, or am I unfairly dissing the Uni standard?

I was under the impression that, that Uni' wassn't half-bad.

Leigh play ' Russian ' opposition for the 3 rd time in 7 years



[size=59There must be a conspiracy theory in there somewhere [/size

think the biggest score for this round anyway will be by leigh

when they loose ?

Well I reckon if Leeds Met were able to field thier full team then they would give Rochdale a good game if not beat them. As it is though they will find it tougher as a big chunk of thier team will be playing for the NL teams.

Who've they saddled us with this time?

doesn't that depend on the club? or is they some general arrangement/rule as to releasing playing?

The ones I know have the clause in thier contracts saying they can play for the Uni but the club takes priority if they are playing the same day which is only fair as they are paying them the most money to play.

Record score was Huddersfields 142-4 victory over Blackpool Gladiators in 1994, Record cup score was Huddersfield 119 v Swinton Park 2 in 1914.

We beat Workington 88-6 last season, though to be honest I think we'll get comfortably ahead then use the match to try things out. Though if Fax decide to show a ruthless streak then who knows.

wath brow v skolars has 'giant killing' all over it, i be keeping an eye on the betting for that

I agree, I have half a mind to venture up the coast for that one
