Following on from the Championship Playoff Wildcard bracket we take a
look at the Challenge Cup playoffs if they were to start today. Take a look at
our opening article to see how we got to the fixtures we are looking at today.
North
Lincoln Colonials @
Glasgow Tigers
Lincoln come into this game as underdogs to a Glasgow team that will
feel hard done by to end up outside of the Championship playoffs and Glasgow
would very quickly show why they were favourites quickly scoring two TD’s in
the first quarter.
Lincoln responded in the second when deep in his own half QB Simon
Wilkinson floated a pass to Wide Receiver Tom Bray who broke a tackle and ran the
ball the length of the field. This however was the lone bright spot for Lincoln
as they struggled to put anything together for the rest of the game as Glasgow
dominated on defence and put up two more touchdowns as the game wound down to
run out convincing winners at 28-7 and will play Hull Sharks in the quarter
finals.

| Chris Peel leads the Bradford Offence |
Northumbria
Mustangs @ Bradford Bears
The second of our Northern Wildcard games sees a clash between Northern
and Border rivals as Northumbria travel down to take on Bradford.
The first quarter of the game showed that both teams were nervous of the
occasion as misfires on offence prevented any team getting on the scoreboard
and allowed the punters to rack up some serious yardage.
