Challenge Cup Round 3 Draw : Mon Feb 27, 2023 2:05 am  

Streamed live on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Online at 6pm Monday 27th February (today)

Broncos are ball 12

To be played weekend of 11/12 March - Plough Lane is free!

Technically London could get three matches at home to fill the sparce calendar before the "summer closure". The reward for three wins would be to be one of four clubs joining the Super League teams in Round 6. And the prospect of a big team at home ... except home will be Ebbsfleet for any Round 6 match as it is a week too late for Plough Lane

I think I'd like an away day to Colwyn Bay or the Hurricanes new ground. Try and see somewhere different this season.

Knowing our luck it'll be Fev or one of the Cumbrian clubs away!

Let's hope for the lowest ranked team left (if that's not us!) so we might have a chance of a win.

Broncos Women will have at least 3 Challenge Cup games since the first stage is round robin. All very tough games though !!

22 April Broncos v St Helens (The Rock)
07 May Warrington v Broncos (Victoria Park)
21 May Broncos v Castleford (The Rock)

I fancy a home draw against a lower league side....so I gues it will be Bulls away.

That's a good draw. Home. Against a team that is relatively equal. And London should be the favourites to win.

It’s not a BAD draw and I’ll put my money down, but bear in mind we only have about 15 fit players who are old enough to come to the ground without their parents permission. It would not surprise me if we rest a few and remember they are a big old team and no mugs. I’d have preferred one of the many amateur teams. A nice home win would raise supporters morale.

Given the problems we've had with amateur teams in the past, particularly Kells comes to mind, not sure that would be any better.

West Warriors v Widnes Vikings.

How often have two Third Round games been played in London?
