Warrington stand-off Lee Briers says his team are desperate to maintain their grip on the Challenge Cup and win it for the third time in a row.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Wolves host Keighley on Sunday in the fourth round.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to take some doing,” Briers told BBC Radio Merseyside. “We’re the champions and people are going to try and knock us off.<\/p>\n

“We’re fully focused on retaining this cup and we want a good run in it and hopefully we’ll get back to Wembley.”<\/p>\n

Six-times Challenge Cup winners Warrington would be only the third club in the competition’s history to claim the trophy three years in a row.<\/p>\n

St Helens were victorious from 2006-8 and Wigan put together an astonishing run of eight consecutive wins in from the late 1980s to mid-1990s.<\/p>\n

Briers added: “We know how special it is and that’s an added spur for us.<\/p>\n

“It means everything and I love the Challenge Cup and to play in front of 90,000 people is pretty special.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been quite lucky that we’ve won two of them. It would be nice to win a Super League title, but the Challenge Cup is massive.<\/p>\n

“It’s got a special place in everybody’s hearts at this club.”<\/p>\n

Warrington are favourites going into this match against the Championship side, although Briers insists the Wolves cannot afford to believe they will have an easy ride.<\/p>\n

“We can’t take them lightly because we know too well that teams can turn us over,” continued the Wales international.<\/p>\n

“It should be a win for us but we’re treating this like any other game. We’ve got a full side to pick from, so people will be playing for their places.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure as professionals we won’t take them lightly.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
