Army or RAF could host rugby league giants Leeds Rhinos in Challenge Cup

The British Army or Royal Air Force could come up against Super League giants Leeds Rhinos at home in the Challenge Cup.

It follows the draw made for the third round on Tuesday night.

The two military sides will go head to head in the rescheduled fixture after Saturday's match was postponed due to a frozen pitch in Aldershot.

The victors will face West Warriors, based in West London, in the second round on 25 January for the right to meet the Rhinos on the weekend of 7-9 February.

Meanwhile, the Royal Navy will have a second-round tie at Workington Town if they beat Mirfield on Saturday in round one.

Victory over Mirfield would grant them a home tie against Super League opposition Leigh Leopards.

BFBS Sport can announce that the British Army v RAF all-forces tie will be shown live on the BFBS Forces News YouTube channel.

The match is one of the highlight fixtures of the first round pitting the reigning Inter Services champions against their Army rivals, who are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2024.

The match will be held at the Army Rugby Stadium in Aldershot with coverage beginning this Saturday, 18 January, at 13:45 UK time on the BFBS Forces News YouTube channel and on BFBS TV (for serving personnel only).
