Cumbrian Rugby League stars Sol Roper and Rob Purdham will conduct the draw for the third round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup at Whitehaven's Recreation Ground next Tuesday (March 13).
Roper, a scrum-half who played in two Wembley finals with Workington Town in 1955 and 1958, will draw the home teams with former Whitehaven and London Broncos player Purdham drawing the away teams.
Roper's involvement celebrates the 60th anniversary of Workington Town's last Wembley victory, an 18-10 win against Featherstone Rovers in 1952.
Bev Risman, the son of Whitehaven's Wembley winning captain from 1952, will also be in attendance along with other Rugby League personalities.
The draw will take place around 7.30pm in the J.J. McKeown Bar at the Recreation Ground and will feature as part of a Rugby League evening broadcast live on BBC Radio Cumbria.
Attendees can also have their photographs taken with the Carnegie Challenge Cup. Admission to the draw event is strictly by ticket only - tickets costing just £2, which includes a hot buffet supper, are available from Whitehaven RLFC.
The Dons will be in the hat for Tuesday's third round draw and the ties will be played over the weekend of the 24th and 25th March.

The Royal Navy will face professional opposition for only the second time in their history later this month after reaching the third round of the 2012 Carnegie Challenge Cup with a stirring victory in Portsmouth.
The Navy took a small but significant step along the road that eventually leads to Wembley with a 32-14 victory over Leigh Miners Rangers to earn their place in the third round draw, which will take place at The Recreation Ground, Whitehaven tomorrow evening (Tuesday 13th March).
Having hosted the second round draw aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious last month, the Navy will be in optimistic mood as they enter the third round draw, which involves the 20 Co-operative Championships clubs, French sides Toulouse Olympique and Lezignan and the 13 other second round winners.
The draw will take place from two pools: to create two pools of 18, two Championships clubs will be drawn at random from the first pool and entered into the second pool which features the community clubs, French teams and the Royal Navy.
A team will be drawn from each pool with home advantage decided by a random draw from a bag featuring two balls marked ‘Home' and ‘Away'.
The draw will be conducted by former Workington Town scrum-half Sol Roper, who twice played at Wembley for the Cumbrians in the 1950s, and ex-Whitehaven, London and England forward Rob Purdham.
BBC Radio Cumbria will broadcast the draw live from Recreation Ground at 7.25pm. You can listen to the station online by clicking [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_cumbria/listenlivehere[/url.
Members of the public can attend the draw, which takes place as part of an evening of Rugby League on BBC Radio Cumbria in the J.J. McKeown Bar. Tickets cost just £2, including a buffet supper, payable on the door.
Tickets for the 2012 Carnegie Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday August 25 cost from just £21 and are now on sale. Family tickets giving access to one of British sport's most historic fixtures to two adults and two children are also available, priced £55 or £79.
To purchase tickets please call the RFL Ticket Office on 0844 856 1113 or visit www.carnegiechallengecup.co.uk. |

We are bound to be drawn against whoever the best amatuer team in the country is at present. That usually seems to be the case.

Thanks for the link Jemmo.
Sharlston seem to have some big lads in their team. Let's hope our pace and strength will be too much for them. I've no doubt it'll be a tough game for us as this will be like a Cup Final to them.

It tickled me when the Wigan St Cuthbert's bloke in the act of scoring ran away from the posts while over the try line, then got up and celebrated like he had won the cup.
There was some foul language from the supporters and the guy doing the video needs to turn his wind-cut on.
But it was entertaining, some of the chubby guys were like whippets.

The try scorer was funny! Obviously he has a similar relationship with the team's goal-kicker as Robin Van Persie has with Dutch team-mate Tim Krul!  |

See our old favourite Craig Miles turns out for them. I think it will be a tough game.

I watched them play a couple of times last season. They are a good side and they won the Barla National Cup last year.
