Batley ran-in 11 tries as they booked their place in the sixth round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup with a 58-6 victory over Swinton.
Karl Harrison's side will take on Catalans Dragons at Sedgeley Park on May 29 as Swinton failed to live with their higher-ranked opponents.
Halifax had beaten Swinton in the previous round but were thrown out of the competition after it emerged they had fielded an ineligible player.
Remarkably, the underdogs took a third minute lead thanks to a try from Phil Joseph with Graham Holroyd adding the extras.
But it was one-way traffic from then on with Danny Maun, Gareth Moore, James Martin, John Campbell, John Gallagher and Lee Greenwood all scoring tries before half-time when the visitors led 30-4.
There was no let-up from Karl Harrison's men in the second half, with Campbell and Greenwood doubling their tally and other tries coming from Craig Potter, Dave Tootill and Sean Hesketh.
Moore kicked seven goals to finish with a personal haul of 18 points.
