All the lads listened to the draw on radio at training tonight! As you say, clubs need to have covered stands etc to host the game. Hull amatuer clubs have hosted teams before using Hull FC or Hull KR grounds and also local rugby union club grounds. Obviously if this is not possible or if better for all parties the game would be switched. One of your players Anth Thackerey is and ex Myton Warriors junior player! Anyways look forward to playing you next week, in the mean time please visit our website to have a read about our club: http://www.mytonwarriorsarlc.co.uk Thanks for that Jamesy we will look forward to either traveling over to Humberside to play you or welcoming you to the Shay either way I hope you and your club have a great day

hard game for siddal.

Re: Chajjenge Cup[ : Tue Mar 13, 2012 10:45 pm  

Tough Draw for Daryl Cardiss's Hunslet Old Boys!

Possible upset for me could be Wath Brow vs South Wales, Egremont could also be a banana skin for oldham, depends when and where they play them games I suppose

Nooooooooooo don't use that horrible rubbish name Humberside which was binned years ago and no longer exists after the locals who never liked the name quite rightly got their proper name back, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Don't get like James Roberts in the Courier he uses that old name too, its Yorkshire end of story.

Will it be played over in Hull I wonder?

Re: Chajjenge Cup[ : Tue Mar 13, 2012 11:42 pm  

I have happy memories of my lad scoring the winning try for KXP U12's at Myton Warriors in the semi final of the Yorks cup the year they won it against West Hull in the final about five years back they played at a RU club called Marist at the time, not a bad little set up if i recall correctly. I can't see Myton giving up home status to travel over here.
The Hull sevice area used to host junior rep games at another RU ground this side of the river, we've been there a couple of times with junior sides, I can't just remember what it's called but it's no worse than some of the lower end of the championship stadia nowadays.

Wherever it's played, lets get over there in numbers, not only to support the lads but also to put some brass in the coffers of a grass roots club!!

I think in the past some of the Hull Area sides have hosted games at Craven Park, and going a bit further back, The Boulevard and Boothferry Park.

Would be good for them if they are able to host the game over there, but even if the tie does have to be switched i'm sure a good number of them will come to The Shay and the Halifax Club have always been very hospitable to the amateur sides that have switched games to The Shay in the past.

Re: Chajjenge Cup[ : Wed Mar 14, 2012 12:17 pm  

There will be 3 options on ground over in Hull that have RFL approval. There is Craven Park - although I feel East Hull will play there on the Saturday. Hull KR are at home on the Sunday.

Hull clubs could maybe use Hull YPI - where Hull FC play academy games - it has a small stand; more likely it will be Hull Ionians RU ground - this has hosted Challenge Cup games before, meets RFL standards and can accommodate over 1500.
