Rams vs Fax in the Challenge Cup

Dewsbury Rams haven’t come up against their close neighbors Halifax in the Challenge Cup very often, in fact the last time they played them in the historic competition was in 1962.

The Rams will take on the Fax on Friday night at 8pm at the Tetley’s Stadium for a place in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup. If Dewsbury are victorious on the night it will be the furthest they have got in the competition since the year 2000. That season the club played Leeds Rhinos in the quarter-final, they ultimately lost 42-10, however the Rams will be hoping to get to that stage of the competition again if they can overcome a strong Halifax outfit.

Halifax have won their last four games in the league at the Tetley’s stadium, and won the last eight out of ten games over the Rams in total, with the other two being a draw and a victory. However the Rams will be confident of beating the Fax on Friday night to reach the quarter final.
