James Gordon

Challenge Cup holders Catalans will travel to 2016 and 2017 winners Hull in the quarter-finals of this season’s competition.

The Dragons eased past League One side Doncaster to secure their place in the last eight, while Hull beat Castleford on Friday night.

There will be a Championship side in the semi-finals after the last two remaining teams, Bradford and Halifax, were drawn to face each other at Odsal.

John Kear’s Bradford pulled off the shock of the round by beating old rivals Leeds live on BBC on Saturday.

Last season’s finalists Warrington were rewarded for a thrilling 26-24 win over Wigan with a trip to Hull KR, who came from behind to beat Salford on Saturday.
