It's a tad unfortunate from the repetition point of view, but is ideal in every other respect. Whoever wins it means there is a championship club in the semis and Fax will definitely, and quite rightly, fancy their chances as it's 'winnable' for both sides. Bring it on!

Here are the Challenge Cup and 1895 Cup arrangements for the Bulls and Halifax (taken from the T&A website):

The Rugby Football League have confirmed the implications of the progress made by Bulls and Halifax in the Coral Challenge Cup on the arrangements for the 1895 Cup.

The new knockout competition for Championship and League One clubs will culminate in a Wembley final on Saturday, August 24 - the same venue and day as the Challenge Cup showpiece.

Bulls and Halifax will play their Challenge Cup quarter-final on Sunday, June 2 before both clubs will compete in their second-round 1895 Cup ties – Bradford at Barrow Raiders, and Halifax at home to Sheffield Eagles – on the Wednesday following the last-eight clash (June 5).

If either Bradford or Halifax reach the semi-finals of both the Challenge Cup and the 1895 Cup, which are scheduled for consecutive days on July 27 and 28, their 1895 Cup semi-final will be put back to the following Wednesday, July 31 – providing a second chance to reach Wembley if they lose the Challenge Cup semi-final.

If Bradford or Halifax become the first lower division team to reach the Challenge Cup final in the competition’s 123-year history, their place in the second 1895 Cup semi-final will be taken by the losers of the first semi-final.

Am I reading that right?. So if either us or fax reach final our place in 1895 semifinal is taken by team that loses the other semifinal giving them a second chance? Presumably the second semi would be played a week later and they wouldn’t be expected to play two games in quick succession?.

It appears so. Perhaps JK may opt into taking the reserve team up to Barrow for the 1895 Cup game as we will have 3 games in the space of a week:

Sunday 2nd June - Halifax at home - CC
Wednesday 5th June - Barrow away - 1895 Cup
Sunday 9th June - Batley at home - League
