Halifax will take on League 1 allies Hunslet in the fourth round of the Challenge Cup at the end of March.

Richard Marshall’s team will travel to the South Leeds Stadium on the weekend of March 30/31 to tackle Gary Thornton’s side.

The two clubs have struck up a partnership this season, with some of Fax’s fringe players turning out for the Leeds outfit on dual registration.
