Rochdale Hornets will host the British Army in the fourth round of the Coral Challenge Cup this Sunday (23 February) at the Crown Oil Arena, with a 3pm kick off.

The British Army progressed to the fourth round of the cup for the first team in their history, defeating Ince Rose Bridge.

Tickets are available on the day at the Crown Oil Arena, or from the club shop between 10am and 4pm until Friday.

Tickets are priced at £15 adults, £12 concessions, £5 under 16s and under 5s go free.

Discounted tickets for just £5 can be purchased by anyone with an armed or emergency service ID, as well as discounted dining of just £100 for a table of four at the Crown Oil Arena, which includes a two-course meal.

“It’s a privilege to play the British Army in the Challenge Cup and we’re relishing the opportunity to play against them at the Crown Oil Arena," said Rochdale Hornets CEO Steve Kerr.

"We can’t think of a better way to respect the work of the Army and emergency services than to open the doors for all service men and women for as little as £5.

"We’ve always been a family club and we’re very focused on building a club the community can be proud of. Sunday will be bouncing in the stands and I hope everyone gets behind the two teams to show their support."

The draw for round five will be streamed on BBC Sport and Our League at 6.30pm on Monday 24 February, 6.30pm, live from Hull Kingston Rovers’ Hull College Craven Park.
