Hunslet will have double representation in the Fourth Round of the Betfred Challenge Cup after their professional team beat Siddal in Sunday’s televised Third Round tie to follow a famous win for the amateurs of Hunslet Club Parkside 24 hours earlier.
Jordan Pago, a former captain of England Colleges, scored four tries from the right wing as Hunslet finished strongly to earn a 30-4 win against their National Conference League visitors at the South Leeds Stadium.
Hunslet, who have twice won the Challenge Cup in 1908 and at Wembley in 1934, will now travel to Colwyn Bay to face the North Wales Crusaders in the Fourth Round on Sunday week, after the Crusaders claimed an impressive 20-14 win against their Betfred League One rivals Swinton Lions at Heywood Road in Sale.
