BARROW Raiders will be at home in the fourth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup after being draw against Keighley Cougars last night.

Curiously, it means the Raiders will once again face the same opponents in both knock-out competitions, having been draw to face the Cougars in the League One Cup quarter-finals as well.

Barrow head coach Paul Crarey and the club's supporters will undoubtedly be hoping for a repeat of their previous two cup matches this year, having twice seen off the challenge of amateurs Rochdale Mayfield.

Crarey's wish of getting a home draw at this stage of the competition has come true though, although not against the Kingstone Press Championship big boys of Hull Kingston Rovers and Bradford Bulls, who are at home to Sheffield Eagles and Featherstone Rovers respectively.

Both the Raiders and Keighley will go into the tie feeling they have good opportunity to progress to round five, where the bottom three Super League sides from last year – Leeds Rhinos, Salford Red Devils and Huddersfield Giants – plus promoted Leigh Centurions join the competition.

The fourth-round ties will be played over the weekend of March 18 and 19, with full details for the match at Craven Park to be confirmed in due course.

Challenge Cup fourth round draw: Hull Kingston Rovers v Sheffield Eagles, Swinton Lions v London Skolars, Bradford Bulls v Featherstone Rovers, Toulouse Olympique v Batley Bulldogs, Oldham v Haydock, University of Gloucestershire All Golds v Doncaster, Whitehaven v Oxford, York City Knights v Rochdale Hornets, London Broncos v Toronto Wolfpack, Dewsbury Rams v Newcastle Thunder, Halifax v Hunslet, Barrow v Keighley Cougars.
