Challenge Cup semi-final venues confirmed

The RFL has confirmed details of the two Carnegie Challenge Cup semi-finals following consultation with the clubs, broadcasters and the two venues.

The first semi-final, Wigan Warriors v St Helens will be staged at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington on Saturday August 6 with a 4.30pm kick off.

The second semi-final, Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos will be staged at Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster, on Sunday August 7 with a 3.15pm kick off.

Both matches will be broadcast live on BBC2.

Tickets for both semi-finals are priced at £28 and £22 (£14 and £11 concessions) and are available for purchase from the clubs, who will announce details shortly.

Tickets for the 2011 Carnegie Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday August 27 costs from £21 to £76 and are selling fast. Last year’s final was a sell-out and fans are advised to move quickly to secure their seat at the historic showpiece final.
