Check Swinton's official website.

Click on 'Team' then on 'Fixtures & Results' and then click on the Cup fixture.

Then click on 'Preview' and it states:

Swinton Lions - Keighley Cougars
Kick Off: TBC
25/04/2014
Leigh Sports Village

I didn't realise that I had to explain everything.

Looks like Cougars are going to turn up on the Sunday according to Cougarmania on Faocebook?

Re: challenge cup next round versus : Wed Apr 09, 2014 7:20 am  

The RFL have both games (to be confirmed) with a 14.00 KO on the Sunday at LSV, but I would imagine that Leigh will have preference of time and date.

I haven't been able to find anything on Leigh's official website. Possibly the first 'double-header' in Challenge Cup history?

I can only hope that the Cougars get the fixture sorted both for themselves and the travelling fans, not to mention Swinton's own supporters.

Perhaps the Club will confirm the actual date at some time in the not-too-distant future.

We could always offer to play it at Cougar Park

Re: challenge cup next round versus : Wed Apr 09, 2014 8:50 pm  

Sedgley park is cosy! For a RU ground.

Visited it once a couple of years ago and the Cougars were dire.

Atmosphere is what people make of it.

Re: challenge cup next round versus : Fri Apr 11, 2014 9:07 pm  

Confusion would still appear to reign!

Swinton have made no comment, but there's plenty on the Leigh forum.

It would appear that both Swinton and Leigh will be playing on Friday now but who knows?

Why won't anyone at Cougar Park confirm the date and time of the fixture?

It's just like the promotion of the Club in the Keighley News: Northern drip-feed information on a daily basis to the 'T&A' but we're lucky if we get any information between Sunday and Thursday. Doesn't anyone at Cougar Park know anything about marketing?

I think not!

Re: challenge cup next round versus : Sat Apr 12, 2014 6:42 pm  

Apparently, Featherstone don't want to play on the Friday evening and the RFL have supported their objection.

There's a wedding on Saturday according to the Swinton Lions forum on TotalRL so it looks as though it's Friday evening for our Cup Tie.

However, the RFL has our KO at 14.00 with Leigh's KO being timed for 15.00, but Leigh have confirmed that they will be playing Featherstone at 15.00 on April 27th.

I wish that someone/anyone from Cougar Park would clarify the situation for everyone.

Perhaps the club are as confused as everyone else
