Challenge Cup referee appointments: Chris Kendall takes charge of massive clash

Super League takes a week off and the Challenge Cup returns instead this upcoming weekend.

It’s now the time for the Super League teams to enter the prestigious competition and they’re joined by four Championship teams to make up the final 16.

That means there is eight matches across the weekend and Chris Kendall has got the biggest game of the lot as he takes the whistle for Saturday’s clash between Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors.

There could well be extra spice involved given that the sides only met last week with Leeds still winning despite being reduced to 12 men.

That game was overseen by Liam Moore who presides over the clash between Castleford and Hull FC.

Jack Smith travels to France to officiate Catalans Dragons and Warrington Wolves, a game that saw a red card shown when it was played earlier in the season.

Another all Super League tie between Salford and last year’s runners-up Huddersfield sees Marcus Griffiths as the man in the middle.

Friday night gets the round udnerway with Halifax hosting St Helens and Aaron Moore takes the charge, whilst Ben Thaler officiates Wakefield vs Leigh and Tom Grant sees Championship side Batley travel to face Hull KR.

The rounds all-Championship tie between York Knights and London Broncos is overseen by James Vella.
