FORMER England internationals Jamie Peacock MBE and Leon Pryce will conduct the draw for the fourth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup at Provident Stadium, Bradford on Tuesday night between 6.30pm and 6.45pm.
Peacock, a member of the victorious Leeds Rhinos team that lifted the trophy at Wembley Stadium last August, and Hull FC halfback Pryce both have strong links with Odsal, having spent their formative years with Bradford Bulls.
The draw sees the entry into the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup of Bradford and the eleven other Kingstone Press Championship clubs, who will join the 12 winners of the weekend’s third round ties.
Those teams include three amateur clubs – Featherstone Lions, Normanton Knights and Leigh Miners – while they will also be joined by nine League 1 clubs, although that won’t include Coventry Bears, who played their first Challenge Cup game as a semi-professional club, when they travelled to Oldham on Sunday, but were unable to prevent the Roughyeds from registering a 46-6 victory.
The draw will be streamed live on the official Ladbrokes Challenge Cup website, www.challengecup.com and selected BBC local radio stations, and will form part of a public event celebrating the competition and the entry of the Championship clubs in front of an audience of Bulls supporters.
