Record score was Huddersfields 142-4 victory over Blackpool Gladiators in 1994, Record cup score was Huddersfield 119 v Swinton Park 2 in 1914.

We beat Workington 88-6 last season, though to be honest I think we'll get comfortably ahead then use the match to try things out. Though if Fax decide to show a ruthless streak then who knows.

wath brow v skolars has 'giant killing' all over it, i be keeping an eye on the betting for that

I agree, I have half a mind to venture up the coast for that one

They are great ambassadors for the amateur game. They played well in the previous round at Featherstone Lions in very heavy conditions, well organised in defence and patient in attack. The stand-off looked particulary good. They should be a long way from troubling Rovers, but this is the cup, so you never know.

How many of the army team were in the forces world cup winning team?

Keep us posted on that one, Its a long way for Skolars to go and Wath Brow will be keen to get through to the 4th round again

And the winners will be

Siddal v Swinton

York City Knights v Wigan St Patricks

Featherstone Rovers v The Army

Queens v Doncaster

Pilkington Recs v Batley

Barrow v Blackpool

Gateshead v Whitehaven

Workington v Lezignan

Leigh Centurions v Lokomotiv Moscow

Oldham v Sharlston

Sheffield Eagles v Toulouse

Leeds Met Carnegie v Rochdale Hornets

Widnes Vikings v Saddleworth

Wath Brow Hornets v London Skolars

Keighley v Pia

Kells v Hunslet

Halifax v Loughborough University

Dewsbury v Carcassonne


Then again..............

]

Even if they play at home ie: Kells v Hunslet, Wath Brow v Skolars the only speccies at these games will be the supporters of the home team.
Who will then be lining the pockets of the pro team.
These games will probably be at `The Recre` and they will have to do all the work to get the game on ie: programmes etc, for no money from the gate.

Few teams not in the draw . . .

Strella Kazan
Limoux
St Gaudens

And what ever happened to Villneuve?

Depends on what the RFL set as Minimum Standards, such as Turnstiles ect.

Only put one Russian Side in this year.

I'm not sure what the qualification system is for the french sides is, I presume Catalan and Toulouse are guranteed entry though.

Yes - I would say they are guaranteed. Limoux are top of the French league though.

They didnt finish in the top 3 of the French elite, its only the top 3 that qualify.

Last year there was a second Russian qualifier but I'm assuming becasue they got tonked 64-12 by Leigh miners they have done away with the second placed RRL qualifier

Thank you that man!!
