Bradford Bulls will have another date with the TV cameras after being paired with Castleford Tigers in the plum tie of the Challenge Cup fifth round.

BBC Grandstand today confirmed the Wheldon Road clash as the live match on Saturday, February 28 (3pm).

It is the fifth consecutive away draw for the Bulls who were handed three successive away matches on their way to the semi-finals last March.

They have not played a cup tie at Odsal since the 1996 quarter-final against Wakefield.

"If I had been given the chance to pick anybody, Castleford would have been one of the last," said coach Matthew Elliott. "We're in for a tough game. Looking on the positive side, at least we haven't got to travel down to London again," he added.

The Sunday Grand-stand fixture will be one of the other two all-Super League clashes involving holders St Helens at home to Warrington and London Broncos against Halifax at The Stoop.

Wigan were made 10-11 favourites with William Hill after being drawn at the winners of tomorrow's fourth round replay between Dewsbury Rams and Lancashire Lynx.

Fifth round draw: Hull v Ellenborough, Dewsbury or Lancashire Lynx v Wigan, Widnes v Salford, St Helens v Warrington, London v Halifax, Sheffield v Egremont, Hull K R v Swinton, Castleford v Bradford.

Ties to be played on weekend of February 28/March 1.
