Rugby Football League chief executive Ralph Rimmer said: “The Ladbrokes Challenge Cup is the most prestigious competition in rugby league and holding two semi-finals in one stadium is another historic moment in its legacy.

“It’s fantastic that the two fixtures will be played in front of a full house at the University of Bolton Stadium.

“I am certain that the capacity crowd will create an incredible atmosphere at Bolton and I look forward to watching two extraordinary games between four top sides.”
