Carnegie Challenge Cup : Sat Feb 14, 2009 2:55 pm  

I see that today and tomorrow the Round 2 fixtures are listed to be played.

Does anyone know when the Round 3 draw is due to be made (when Fax and the other Championship sides enter the competition)?

Nicked from the VT-

Featherstone Lions 12-30 British Army
Kells 31-22 Leigh MR
Saddleworth 20-16 Castleford Lock Lane
Sharlston Rovers 20-10 Leigh East
Siddal 34-10 West Bowling
Wath Brow 40-22 Hull Dockers
Widnes St Maries 8-15 Queens
Wigan St Judes 24-28 Pilkingtons
Wigan St Patricks 20-16 West Hull

Few sides to avoid away games with in the draw there, Namely been The Army, Wath Brow and Kells,

The Army play there games at Aldershot (Oldham went down there last year) and Wath Brow and Kells would both be keen to play their games in Cumbria, Probably at Whitehaven

What's the odds on us getting the Army away? Such is our fortune in cup draws.

Hope the draw is on the radio, but that whatever time is announced it will be adhered to. Wasn't it the case a year or two ago that the draw was due to be held and covered by either radio or tv or both at around 6.50 pm only for it to be brought forward unannounced to lunchtime (something to do with accommodating certain parties to the draw which was being held at some fans' house in (?) St. Helens)?

No chance of getting The Army with Kells and Wath Brow in the draw.
It'll be another trip to Whitehaven to play one of those followed by Whitehaven away in next round
