The NCL Division One side will make the trip to League One side Whitehaven.

St Judes, the other Wigan side left in the competition, also face a tough test against respected amateur outfit Lock Lane.

There was initially confusion though as Haydock (ball number six) were announced as number nine (Lock Lane) and vice-versa, but it has been agreed the draw will be honoured.

Haydock have actually also been handed a tie against League One opponents in Oldham.

Ties are to be played on the weekend of March 9-10.
