John Dixon's Celtic Crusaders will travel to Humberside in the fourth round of the Challenge Cup. The journey to Wembley begins at New Craven Park where Cru will do battle with Hull Kingston Rovers. The Robins currently sit sixth in Super League; having picked up five points from their opening four outings.
The tie will provide a tough test for the Cru as they aim for a Cup run to compliment the side's first ever season in Super League.
The game will see Cru boss Dixon lock-horns with his Welsh assistant boss Justin Morgan; the current coach of Rovers.
Last year, Cru's Challenge Cup campaign was ended at the fourth round stage. Victory over Lokomotiv Moscow was followed by a 16-38 defeat at the hands of the Leeds Rhinos.
All ties will take place on the weekend of the 4th and 5th of April. The full draw is as follows:
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Leigh Centurions
Halifax v Widnes Vikings
Oldham v Lezignan
Leeds Rhinos v St Helens
Keighley Cougars v Castleford Tigers
Catalans Dragons v Bradford Bulls
Featherstone v Wath Brow Hornets
Hull FC v Salford City Reds

Harlequins RL v Huddersfield
