Fixture details and BBC coverage confirmed for Challenge Cup Third Round

BRADFORD BULLS’ Challenge Cup Third Round tie with London Broncos has been chosen for broadcast by the BBC.

The Bulls take on the Broncos on Sunday, February 8 with Bradford back in Super League after a 12-year absence.

London, revitalised since Australian superstar Darren Lockyer took part ownership, will hope to cause a shock.

They haven’t reached the final since 1999 when a team featuring rugby league greats Shaun Edwards and Martin Offiah lost out to Leeds Rhinos.

Bradford, whose last Cup final win came in 2003, are looking to press on into the fourth round as they step up their preparations for their Super League return.
