Whitehaven will host Championship outfit Halifax in the fifth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup - if they can get past fourth round opponents Oxford.

Their tie with Oxford was postponed at the weekend due to a water logged pitch at the Recreation Ground.

And they will attempt to play it again this this Sunday with their league game against Hunslet provisionally re-arranged for Sunday, April 30.

Halifax coach Richard Marshall was satisfied with this morning's draw.

“We’re okay with that, although we’ve a fair bit of travel to do whoever we play,” said Marshall.

“We’ll see who we end up playing, but it looks like a tough game for Oxford going up to Whitehaven.

“They gave us a torrid time up there last season in a game that had a detrimental effect on our whole year, so we know we’ll be in for a battle if we end up playing up there."
