Mayfield in the hat for round three

ROCHDALE Mayfield pulled off a great 18-16 win at West Hull to go into the draw for round three of the Betfred Challenge Cup, which will be held at the Crown Oil Arena in Rochdale on Tuesday evening.

Also through are the Royal Navy, Hunslet Club Parkside, Siddal, York Acorn and Betfred League One clubs North Wales Crusaders and London Skolars.

They will be joined by the winners of Sunday’s five second-round ties, which include Oldham v Lock Lane at the Vestacare Stadium, kicking-off at 6pm.

The other four Sunday ties are Doncaster v Thornhill Trojans, Hunslet v Keighley Cougars, Rochdale Hornets v Midlands Hurricanes and West Wales Raiders v Swinton Lions.

The Navy reached the third round for the first time in more than a decade with a dramatic 14-10 win against the British Army in Aldershot, as the first ever Challenge Cup meeting of the Forces rivals went to golden point extra time.

London Skolars beat their capital rivals London Chargers, a Southern Conference League team based at Clapham Common, 40-22 at the New River Stadium on White Hart Lane – close to the venue of the 2022 Betfred Challenge Cup Final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in May.

Anthony Murray, the North Wales Crusaders coach who was the League One coach of the year in 2021, had a winning return to his former community club Leigh Miners Rangers.

Hunslet Club Parkside beat their Leeds rivals Stanningley 22-12, Siddal won 32-10 at Pilkingtons Recs in St Helens, and York Acorn beat Wests Warriors, the third London club in the second round.

Rochdale Hornets, the town’s professional club who are celebrating the centenary of their only Challenge Cup win in 1922, will aim to join Mayfield when they face the newly-renamed Midlands Hurricanes in the first of Sunday’s five second-round fixtures, which will be streamed live on BBC Sport from 1pm.
