Good stuff Kenny.

Any likely upsets in those games?

Both the Hull sides have tough 1st round draws.

Featherstone could upset Castleford , and i can see Widnes beating St Helens

Think both Hull teams will go out aswell

It's a great comp isn't it? I wish we had something similar.

There used to be the Amco Cup which was a similar format but it was scrapped about 25 years ago.

Amco Cup

I love the Challenge Cup , and i have held it !! when HKR beat HFC in 1981 we had the cup at my grandads house

Seriously? What an amazing story! What was your grandad's connection?

He worked on the turnstiles at the old craven park for 20 odd years , and my uncle has been involved with board ( he was even chairman for awhile )

Featherstone win , and Widnes nearly came back

Some big scores this round , but also some close games .

I will post the draw for the next round when its been drawn .

The Broncos team which beat Dewsbury had 9 Londoners in the 17. Gary Schofield will not be happy.

Saints play Widnes again at home next week too. It'll be tough to tip on SG after that close result.

They had that game live on TV here. I went to bed, however, when St Helens were up 40-22 or something. Great comeback from Widnes.

Well the Cup wont be coming to Hull this year

Challenge Cup fifth round draw

Warrington Wolves v Bradford Bulls

Catalan Dragons v Sheffield Eagles

Salford City Reds v Leeds Rhinos

Leigh Centurions v Halifax

Oldham v St Helens

Featherstone Rovers v Wigan Warriors

Huddersfield Giants v Swinton Lions

Batley Bulldogs v London Broncos

Some great matches there. So who do you think will make it all the way through to the Final? Also, what date is the final... in May?

I think the final is 25th August ? Given the draw Wigan and Saints look good

That's right...end of summer now. When I went in '90 it was in May I think.

Yes it always used to be the first saturday in May i think

I think that Catalans &/or Huddersfield have a great chance to get to the final this year.

given a good draw yes i agree tiger , both are playing some great rugby this season

agree Kenny, think both will get through, then like you say luck of the draw. Given that both had hard away games last round and got through i do fancy there chances.
Only upset possable this rd i think is Batley at home to London. But to be honest, don't think that will happen

I agree dont see any shocks this round

No shocks this round yet

Not yet no, the weather could be a levelling factor today. Hammering down in Leicestershire all morning doubt even the ducks are enjoying this!

Your right the weather could play a part today , id like to think so a good cup upset would be interesting

Some close games but no real shocks , Quater-final draw tuesday morning

Draw for Quater-Finals

Huddersfield v London Broncos,
Catalan Dragons v Warrington,
Leigh v Leeds,
Wigan v St Helens

Some great match ups there. Who do you think, Kenny?

I'll go Giants, Wire, Leeds, Wigan? ...although I think Catalans might do well too.

Giants , Catalans , Leeds and Wigan . I give it to Catalans and Wigan because of home advantage

I'll go Huddersfield, Catalans, Leeds and Wigan as well.

Wigan could have problems about where to hold there tie. With Wigan Athletic at home on the saturday to Wolves, Dave Whelan has yet to say when they can play.

Fancy Giants & Leeds, Catalans and Saints to get through.

Friday 11 May

Leigh 12 v 60 Leeds

Leeds first team into the semis

Saturday 12th May

Wigan 18 v 4 St Helens

While I wouldn't be a huge RL fan by any means the Catalan Dragons and Warrington Wolves game was superb

Catalan 22 v 32 Warrington

Huddersfield 50 v 14 London Broncos


the draw was made for the semi finals today aswell

Leeds v Wigan
Warrington v Huddersfield

Difficult to pick finalists yet alone a winner, particularly with a long gap until the semi's. Full credit to the Warrington pack in a physically brutal game at the Dragons having been battered there just 3-4 weeks ago .

We now have the ridiculous long wait until 14th-15th July for the semi finals
