Challenge Cup Pre-draw : Tue Mar 13, 2012 7:20 pm  

Along with Workington, Leigh have been drawn out to go in the bag with the amateurs, so that means we will play pro opposition in Round 3 of the Challenge Cup. Full draw to come in 5 mins on Radio Cumbria.

London Skolars away

London Skolars v Leigh Centurions - a definite money-spinner!

What a carp draw that is..... something fishy in Cumbria...

Re: Challenge Cup Pre-draw : Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:02 pm  

Interesting draw. I will be looking to make a weekend of it as I am sure others will

I wonder how that will affect the 'free' challenge cup game offered as part of the season ticket holder's package ?

Well at the risk of sounding like Charlie Caroli if Leigh and Workington are the only pro sides in the draw why are we away at London Skolars ?

Reply not necessary I have just figured it out. What date will the game be played ?

We're the only pro sides to go in the 'amateurs' bag which means we were guaranteed to be drawn against a pro side.

For those looking to go for the weekend, I will speak to Mayfair Travel first thing in the morning to see if they can organise a trip as they have done for all previous games vs the Broncos/Skolars.

Cheers Matt - Having previously done all those mayfair trips, I was thinking of them as soon as the draw was made. IIRC they worked out about £58 back in 2007. Inclusive of travel, 1 night hotel & transfers. Superb value each one.
