OLDHAM RL eased into the fifth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup at the expense of amateur club Kells at Bower Fold.

The Roughyeds scored eight tries against the National Conference League outfit from Cumbria.

Jamel Chisholm and Jack Holmes both went over twice, with Jon Ford, Gary Middlehurst, Adam Files and Danny Grimshaw also going in. In the absence of rested club skipper Lewis Palfrey, Steve Roper kicked four conversions.

Kells replied through a Ryan Watson try and Ross Gainford goal close to half-time.

The fifth round draw, which sees the Super League sides enter the competition, takes place on Tuesday evening.
