Clubs try again in Challenge Cup

Grassroots Rugby League clubs will be hoping that it’s third time lucky this week after the majority of scheduled Carnegie Challenge Cup preliminary round ties were again postponed over the weekend.

14 preliminary round ties have been rescheduled with two games taking place under floodlights on Wednesday evening and the other 12 being played on the weekend of February 18 and 19.

The weekend of February 18 and 19 was originally scheduled for the Carnegie Challenge Cup first round and those ties involving teams that have not yet played their preliminary round games will be moved back to the weekend of February 25 and 26.
