Looks like the Centurions will be the towns only representatives in the 3rd round of the Challenge Cup after Miners' lost to Kells and East lost to Sharlston.

I see Pats won......so there is one team in W*gan that knows how to win!!

as i posted on another thread, kells and sharlston are by far the best regional teams in the country

didn't expect either leigh team to win away from home

the cumberland league is a very good standard, lots of lads who would walk into most conference teams, but work committments mean they cant spend 5-6 hours on a coach going to places like skirlaugh

that's a shame about east/miners, does anybody know when the draw for the 3rd round is.

7.30 Tuesday night on BBC Manchester I think

Queens have been going very, very well. They have knocked out Bank Quay, Halton Simms Cross, Widnes St Maries x 2 and Wigan St Judes in cup comps already this season, all away from home!

Kells haven't lost a game yet this season. Well not in any Dumbrian comp

Queens are meant to be very robust and physical

That is the polite phrase

- obviously works for them.

They were a very well coached and disciplined side when they played Ellenborough last year. A game that they lost by a last minute drop-goal.
