Our third entry into the prestigious Challenge Cup competition has served up home advantage for the first time as we host Medway Dragons.

Our two previous entries into the Challenge Cup ended in defeat with defeat to Distinction in 2020 and Brentwood Eels in 2023.

But for the first time in the competition's 130 year history, a Challenge Cup match will be played in Bedford!

Although its a fellow southern club, the Tigers and the Dragon's paths have never crossed. The Winners of the London & South East competition in 2025 also went on to win the Harry Jepson Trophy, a competition competed for by the winners of the southern regional leagues.

The game will take place on Sunday 11th January with a 14:30 kick off
