The tie is due to take place between the 4th or 5th of April, further details will be confirmed in due course after the suspension of the 2020 season which you can read more about HERE.

Castleford’s match against York City Knights promises to be an interesting one as the two clubs are dual-registration partners this season.

The Knights secured a play-off finish in the Betfred Championship in 2019, their first year in the competition following promotion from League One under the coach James Ford. Former Tigers player Chris Clarkson joined the side for the 2020 season so it could see Castleford face off against Clarkson too.

In Round 5 Ford's men thrashed Rochdale Hornets to progress to the next stage of the Challenge Cup, running in 13 tries in total.
