SAINTS have been paired with National League One side Batley in the Challenge Cup fourth round.

But coach Daniel Anderson will not be taking the tie lightly against the Yorkshire minnows.

With Wembley expected be up and running in time for August's final, the cup holding Saints will be taking no chances.

Coach Daniel Anderson said:"We are not going to be putting out an academy team, we will be preparing thoroughly for it.

"It is not much different to when we played Doncaster last year when we did not mess about by putting kids in. We will pick the best team we can."

Saints' preferred date for the game is Friday, March 30, rather than a Sunday.

Anderson said: "We play Hull KR the previous Friday and then have to go to Wigan on Good Friday the following week so Friday would suit us best."
