SALE FC's Heywood Road hosts world champions Wigan Warriors on Sunday when they visit Swinton Lions in the Challenge Cup sixth round.

Lions, who have been playing at Sale for the past two years, beat Super League side Huddersfield Giants in the previous round to set up the Warriors clash.

John Roddy, Swinton Lions' chairman, said: “Heywood Road has become a fantastic venue for us and we are really pleased we are hosting Wigan Warriors there this Sunday.

"It would be great to see the local community coming along and getting behind Swinton Lions to help us to secure a victory which will automatically take us to the quarter-finals and two games away from a Wembley final.

“Swinton Lions will be the underdogs for the game, without a doubt, however with a loud local support anything can happen in the Challenge Cup.”

Tickets for Sunday's tie, which kicks off at 3pm, can be bought online at http://events.codexservices.co.uk/t/swinton-lions or on the day at the ground.
