The draw for the quarter-finals of the Betfred Challenge Cup will be held on Monday night (March 17) at 9.15pm, as part of a Rugby League Hour from 9-10pm on BBC Radio 5Live, presented by Mark Chapman who will be joined in studio by two former Challenge Cup winners who will conduct the draw - Adrian Morley and Jon Wilkin.
Morley lifted the Challenge Cup four times as a player, captaining Warrington Wolves to the trophy three times in four seasons during a memorable run for the club at Wembley Stadium when he twice knocked off former club Leeds Rhinos whilst also overcoming Huddersfield Giants in the showcase event. The prop-forward's first Challenge Cup triumph did come with the Rhinos however as Leeds saw off London Broncos back in 1999 - the last Final to be played at the old Wembley Stadium.
Wilkin wrote himself into Challenge Cup folklore back in 2006 having scored two crucial tries while playing with a bandage holding together his nose when St Helens proved too powerful against the Giants.
The magic of the cup continues tomorrow (March 14) with St Helens v Leeds Rhinos live on The Sportsman (20.00), before cup holders Wigan Warriors host Hull FC on BBC Sport on Saturday (17.45).
Draw numbers will be released on Monday morning following the weekend’s fixtures. Quarter-final ties will take place between April 4-6 with details to be confirmed following the draw.
