The draw for the semi-finals of this year’s prestigious Challenge Cup will take place at half-time of the last-eight clash between St Helens and Warrington Wolves on Sunday, April 14. The highly anticipated draw will be part of the BBC’s live coverage of the quarter-final tie at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
With four balls in the hat, the semi-final lineup will be determined, as the three winners from the previous quarter-final ties will be joined by the victor of the St Helens vs. Warrington Wolves match, irrespective of the half-time score.
