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...

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 ?

24/25th March

Draw made at Whitehaven, all 5 Cumbria teams at home, coincidence???

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.

if you think its a good deal Matt book me on

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.

Just got off the phone to Mike at Mayfair and he's going to double check with the hotel in the morning but he doesn't envisage any problems in running a coach trip - would cost £69 per person (based on 2 sharing) for return coach travel, transfers to the game and hotel with breakfast. Not going to get owt cheaper than that!

That's a great price !!

loved it last time

Good deal Matt, however would it not have been wiser to let LISA sort something and putting a bit in there coffers before arranging this - just a thought
