[quote="Tarquin Fuego":2qcruft5]This CC draw is a god send even early season Dobbins will have to field a full strength v York whilst we can rest those 3-4 players that are still carrying those knocks that players usually carry etc[/quote:2qcruft5] It is a god send your right, aswell as an early round cup game it'll probably be the only game that the first team play before the season starts, so yes you'd expect us to go pretty much full strength, and get a tough match too Fc will be away at an amateur team, so your game will probably be more like a full on training session, obviously you'll progress through but I'm not sure how much fc will get out of the game in terms of it getting your lads battle hardened.

Our 3rd round tie has been confirmed as York Acorn away after they beat Oulton Raiders earlier today, will be a new ground to add to the list.

[quote="Yippee try yay":1cyzp945]Just beat me to it [/quote:1cyzp945] West Hull v St Helens in the Cup too!

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":3f7m22j4]West Hull v St Helens in the Cup too![/quote:3f7m22j4] That will be an amazing experience for the West Hull lads, a lot of these results will be one sided thrashings but it's a once in a lifetime for some of the amateur players getting to play against international players.

York Acorn v Hull has been confirmed for Saturday 8 February at 2pm, played at Featherstone. West Hull v Saints is being played at Craven Park, Wests Warriors v Leeds is at Headingley and Goole v Wakefield is at Wakefield. Bit of a farce, really.
