Rochdale Mayfield match preview

The qualifying rounds for the 2013 Challenge Cup kick-off this weekend with community Rugby League clubs from across England and Wales taking their first steps on the road to Wembley 2013.

Thirty eight of the 40 clubs entering Qualifying Round One are in action this weekend and some of the stand-out ties include a Cumbrian derby between Askam and Millom, Welsh champions Bonymaen Broncos travelling to Bradford Dudley Hill and student champions Leeds Metropolitan University hosting Elland.

Rochdale Mayfield will face The University of Hull at The Mayfield Sports Centre in Castleton on Saturday, 2pm kick off.

Mayfield have won their last five National Conference League fixtures, including a great win two weeks ago against promotion chasing Bradford Dudley Hill, but memories of coming unstuck against university opposition last year still sting, so coaches Matt Calland and Sam Butterworth should have their charges primed against complacency this time out.

Mayfield Alliance complete their summer season at home against Ince Rose Bridge this weekend, again a Saturday kick off at 2pm.
