Bulldog Ben plays his 104th Batley game on the trot... but it's his father figure and old boss who stands in his way of Challenge Cup glory

ESTATE agent Ben White looks to sell his 'dad' Craig Lingard a dummy as he hits a milestone in Batley colours.

Half-back White will break the club record for successive appearances with his 104th straight game in today's Challenge Cup sixth-round tie against Castleford.

Fittingly, the Championship part-timers are facing their old boss Lingard, a Batley legend who left for the Super League outfit last year.

White has played every game for Bulldogs since Lingard signed him from Halifax in 2020 leading to some team-mates crying nepotism.

He admitted: "There was a bit of a running joke. No matter who we played, I was always on the teamsheet. Some lads said tongue-in-cheek I'm Linners' son.
