can't find any reference in any broadast schedule anywhere

[wings beneath my feet]

Maybe Radio Newcastle will cover it they have a sport prog on from 5.30 but then again it isn't football is it (sorry soccer)

Ovenden are in Round 3, yet they're bottom of national conference 2 and haven't won a league game all season!!

We'd lose. Undoubtedly.

[tim2]

Hunslet Warriors from the Yorkshire League are coached by Dean Sampson and have our former player Caldon Bravo in their ranks.

Ovenden's run is amazing.

It's about time we had a home tie against an amateur team. Although I was at Thornhill the other week and they were celebrating the 10th anniversary of beating the Eagles. The video of the game was on the big screen in the clubhouse - I was shocked at how slow and ponderous the game seemed compared to what we see now at DVS. However the pitch was in a similar condition to how it was after the recent U2 concert.

[E.S.O]

What a horrible, embarrassing game that was.

[Basil Exposition]

Fortunately i wasnt at that horrible mess but the stories ive heard made me cringe alone.

[E.S.O]

The pitch invasion by the Thornhill fans at the end was embarrassing. They both went mental.

Sheffield Eagles v Thatto Heath Crusaders

[E.S.O]

Thatto Heath Crusaders at home.

[E.S.O]

This isn't 100% confirmed btw, just what it says on forums, no official list of fixtures yet, sounds like the draw has been a farce again, rumour has it it had to be re-done because they left Wath Brow Hornets out!

[E.S.O]

Widnes Vikings v Wigan St Judes

Oldham v Blackwood Bulldogs

Gateshead Thunder v York City Knights

London Skolars v Limoux

Doncaster v Siddal

Rochdale Hornets v Lezignan

Drighlington v Dewsbury Rams

Batley Bulldogs v Leeds Metropolitan University

Royal Navy v Blackpool Panthers

Featherstone Rovers v Workington Town

Warrington Wizards v Swinton Lions

Leigh Miners Rangers v Whitehaven

Sheffield Eagles v Thatto Heath

Ovenden v Halifax

Barrow Raiders v Hunslet Warriors

Keighley Cougars v Toulouse Olympique

Leigh East v Hunslet Hawks

Leigh Centurions v Wath Brow Hornets

[aquilla]

Still a chance we could get Blackwood in the next round

[wings beneath my feet]

a home match is that a record?

[Basil Exposition]

I'm happy with that. Should progress to round 4.

Donny could be in trouble.

Skolars is best chance of upset.

[martyb62]

Saw Thatto Heath beat Castleford Panthers 32-0 at Castleford on Saturday in the previous round, although to be fair, the Panthers did have on off day. Thatto are one of the better teams from the NCL, and although now in Division 1, they shouldn't be taken lightly, as indeed shouldn't any amateur teams. This is their cup final.
