NORTH WALES CRUSADERS have a tasty trip lined up in the third round of the Challenge Cup.
Carl Forster’s side will head to Championship Bradford Bulls, who have won the famous competitions on five occasions.
Bradford, who last won the cup in 2003, will host Crusaders on the weekend of February 10 and 11.
The winner of this tie will play host to either Widnes or Doncaster in the fourth round in late February.
Crusaders opened their season with Sunday’s 40-12 loss to Swinton Lions in the 1895 Cup.
Pat Ah Van and Ben Evans scored the second half tries for the Crusaders, while Owain Abel (pictured above) kicked two conversions.
