Warrington won the 2010 Challenge Cup beating Leeds 30-6 in the final

Warrington will start their bid to win the Challenge Cup for the third year running with a fourth-round home tie against Championship 1 side Keighley.

Sunday's Cup draw paired Super League champions Wigan with Barrow, St Helens meet Sheffield Eagles, while Batley are at home to Huddersfield Giants.

Leeds v Crusaders, the only all-Super League tie, will be televised on BBC One from (Saturday 7 May, 1500 BST).

Sunday's Halifax v Bradford game will be on BBC Two (8 May, 1515 BST).

Championship pace-setters Leigh will fancy their chances at home to Catalan Dragons, while the other French club in the last 32, Lezignan, face a trip to Featherstone.

Warrington coach Tony Smith said his side had received a fortunate draw against part-timers Keighley.

"It's good to be at home. You don't want to take anybody lightly and we certainly won't," he said.

"Obviously it could have been a lot tougher but you've got to be on your game."

Leeds coach Brian McDermott, whose club last won the trophy in 1999 and finished runners-up last year, told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a big advantage to be at home in such a prestigious event.

"Crusaders are a useful team, we know their quality and it will be a hard battle."
