The Challenge Cup fourth round tie between Normanton Knights and Rochdale Hornets will be live streamed via the BBC Sport website.

It takes place at Featherstone’s LD Nutrition Stadium on Saturday March 17 (kick-off 2pm) and involves one of the three remaining community sides in the competition.

Normanton have already beaten the Royal Navy, Rochdale Mayfield and Batley Boys to reach the fourth round.

The fourth round sees 11 Championship teams enter the competition, including the Hornets, with Toulouse opting not to enter this season.

They will be joined in the fifth round by Catalans, Hull KR, Warrington and Widnes from Super League, before the remaining eight top flight clubs enter in round six.

The third round streamed tie between Coventry Bears and Distington attracted a viewing audience of over 13,000.
