HAYDOCK'S magical Challenge Cup journey may have finally ended yesterday but praise has been pouring in for the Yickers' historic run.
The first eighth tier side to reach the fourth round, Haydock went down valiantly 40-12 against Oldham, after taking a shock early 8-0 lead.
And messages of congratulations for the club have been flooding social media.
Just got back from watching the mighty @HaydockOA well done lads you've done yourselves proud #Yickers
