Doncaster RLFC have been drawn away to Rochdale Mayfield in the third round of the Betfred Challenge Cup.

Richard Horne’s side beat Thornhill Trojans 24-6 on Sunday to book their place in the next round.

Now another National Conference League Premier Division outfit stands between Doncaster and a fourth round tie at home to Championship side Whitehaven.

The Dons will travel to Rochdale over the weekend of February 12-13.

The winners of that game will host Whitehaven over the weekend of February 26-27.

Doncaster do not start their League One campaign until March 27 when they welcome Midlands Hurricanes to the Eco-Power Stadium.
