FULL MATCH | Betfred Challenge Cup Rugby League Round 2 - British Army vs Royal Navy

Watch full match coverage as the British Army take on the Royal Navy in the Betfred Challenge Cup round 2. The historic meeting of the British Army and the Royal Navy in the second round of the 2022 Betfred Challenge Cup will take place on Saturday, January 29th and will be streamed exclusively live by The Sportsman on our dedicated rugby league YouTube channel. Both teams have been regulars in the Challenge Cup since they first entered at the turn of the millennium – six years after the ban on Rugby League in the Armed Services was lifted. They play annual fixtures in the Inter Services Competition, but this is the first time they have been drawn against one another in the Challenge Cup. The Navy were the first team to earn their place in the second round after a convincing 60-0 win against Bridgend Blue Bulls on Friday, January 14th, while the Army came from behind to win a thriller at Orrell St James the following day. The Navy will be aiming to reach the third round for the first time since 2011, while the Army have a more impressive recent pedigree, with a run to the fourth round in 2020, their last Challenge Cup campaign before the competition was disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
