SAINTS have been given another home tie in the fifth round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup.

The cup holders have been paired with National League One outfit Rochdale Hornets. The tie will take place on the weekend of May 11-13, although Saints will probably push for a Friday encounter.

The game will see the return of Saints old boys Chris Giles and Dave McConnell.

St Helens-born hooker McConnell will no doubt relish the opportunity to play at Knowsley Road again. Jock' scored a hat-trick against Castleford in one of his rare opportunities at the club before being sold in 2002.

The tie of the round is the pairing of Leeds and Wigan.
