New Castleford signing Michael Korkidas starred as the Tigers fought out a 24-24 draw with neighbours Featherstone at the Jungle.

Ex-Wakefield and Salford prop Korkidas scored a try and helped set up another for fellow new boy Tom Haberecht in front of a Boxing Day crowd of 3,743.

Half-backs Anthony Thackeray and Joe Westerman also grabbed tries for the Tigers, whose line-up included eight of their first team squad.

Former Castleford full-back Tom Saxton scored two tries on his debut for newly promoted national League One outfit Featherstone, who recovered from 12-0 down after 17 minutes to lead 24-18 in the second-half.

Carl Hughes and Sean Hesketh were Featherstone's other try-scorers.
