YORK City Knights will play their Powergen Challenge Cup third round tie at The Shay after a game of musical grounds.

The move was forced because National Conference division two side Ovenden's ground does not meet the standard required.

The ideal solution was to move the tie to Halifax's Shay stadium but Fax's own fixture at Kells was also hanging in the balance, complicated by Halifax Town FC also at home on the Saturday.

The Kells v Halifax game will now be played at Whitehaven, leaving the Shay free for Ovenden to face York on March 12, kick off 3pm.
