Siddal draw Pilkington Recs in Challenge Cup

National Conference champions Siddal will face St Helens side Pilkington Recs in the second round of the Challenge Cup after beating Milford 16-4 at the weekend in their first outing of 2017.

Gareth Greenwood’s side, who beat League 1 professionals Newcastle Thunder last season before eventually bowing out at Rochdale Hornets, will be wary of an away tie that has paired them against a fellow Premier Division side.

Pilkingtons were one of the few Premier Division sides to get the better of Siddal last year, winning the league game between the teams on Merseyside.
