With the sport’s long-term league structure still unclear, there has been some suggestion of cutting funding to League 1 clubs – perhaps even turning the third-tier amateur league to pump more money into Super League. “York were good – but we knew that about them before the game,” said the Catalans coach, Steve McNamara. With two wins from their 11 Super League games so far this season, there is again a very realistic possibility of the Dragons becoming embroiled in a battle against relegation this year. In front of a raucous, lively crowd greater in size than some seen in Super League this season, this was perhaps the Challenge Cup at its absolute best. In the remaining ties, Featherstone Rovers won 26-16 at Doncaster and Toronto Wolfpack won 16-12 at home to Barrow Raiders.”Press Association
