YORK City Knights have been drawn at home to bogey team Barrow Raiders in the fifth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup - and head coach James Ford can't wait to have "another crack at them".

The Knights shocked Championship side Rochdale in a fourth-round cracker at Bootham Crescent on Sunday, but while James Ford's men have something of a hoodoo sign over the Hornets, defeating them five times out of five, it is the other way round against the Cumbrians.

York have not beaten Barrow in the past 11 meetings, a run stretching back to 2007, with the most recent loss coming earlier this month - a 28-0 reverse at Craven Park in the opening game of the League One campaign.

Paul Crarey's men are also among the favourites for promotion to the Championship alongside new moneybags club Toronto Wolfpack.

This cup rematch takes place over the weekend of April 22-23.

Ford said: "Obviously I'm pleased we've got a home tie and it's against a team in our league.

"It's a fixture we want to do really well in. We've not got a great track record against Barrow but the best thing to do in those circumstances is have another crack at them.

"We will learn lessons from that last performance against them. For periods we weren't far away, although in other periods we were miles off.

"We'll come into it all guns blazing."

Ford downplayed holding a hoodoo sign over Rochdale before that fourth-round clash, and likewise he believes any Barrow omens matter little too.

"It makes no difference, other than we can treat it as more motivation," he said of the supposed Raiders jinx. "I don't like the fact people keep bringing it up.

"We can't wait to get out there. We have a lot of respect for Barrow, their coaching staff and players. If we perform to our standards we set on the weekend (against Rochdale) I'm sure it will be a fantastic tie."

Four Super League clubs went into the hat at this stage of the competition - the quartet who got through the Middle Eights Qualifiers last season - with the remainder from the top tier entering in round six.

Ford had ideally wanted to net the biggest club in the draw, Leeds, at Bootham Crescent, but instead the Rhinos host Doncaster, while Huddersfield meet Swinton, Salford have an enthralling fixture against Toronto, and Leigh entertain the club they replaced in the top tier, Hull KR, in arguably the tie of the round.

Another cracker sees Dewsbury and Batley meet in an all-Championship Heavy Woollen derby.

Ladbrokes Challenge Cup fifth round draw in full: Leigh v Hull KR, Featherstone v Oldham, Leeds Rhinos v Doncaster, Salford v Toronto Wolfpack, Whitehaven or Oxford v Halifax, Dewsbury v Batley, Huddersfield v Swinton, York City Knights v Barrow.
