Whitehaven edged out fellow League One side London Skolars 16-14 in last week’s third round and were paired at home to Neil Kelly’s in-form Rams in Tuesday’s draw.

A date for the tie is still to be confirmed as four Cumbrian sides were drawn at home — including community side Kells being rewarded with a plum home tie against Toronto Wolfpack — and Haven chairman Tommy Todd wants to maximise the chances to attract decent attendances to all the games.
