Barrow Raiders 24-30 Halifax RLFC after 58:00 minutes.

Robert Worrincy goes 70m to the Barrow line but the try won't count as the pass has been ruled forward by referee Laughton.

Massive call.

Barrow Raiders 34-40 Halifax RLFC after 75:00 minutes.

Could that be the match winner as Robert Worrincy pounces like a cat on the loose ball after the mistake by Bauer.

Result

Barrow Raiders 34-42 Halifax RLFC

What a game of Rugby League that was, with both sides going for it in the second half.

Credit to Barrow who at 24-0 could have been forgiven for wanting full time, but they came out and pushed Halifax all the way.

Halifax go above Leigh into second place and as I've said all season long, the Grand Final will be Halifax vs Featherstone.

PM me your address Tony, I'll post you a copy of the game. Because to be honest it's up there with the best.

P.S next year we'll have to take in some Championship games while your over here.

Not waching tonight Gaz ?

A good win for Halifax, although the porous defense weakness persists. Fev will hardly be trembling at the prospect of facing either of these two teams in the playoffs, albeit the end of season games can be a bit more intense than the games earlier in the season.

Come on Fax!

At work in the North sea Mick with no tv and ###### tinternet connection, I think im glad I never watched it due to the result, although it sounded like a good game from a neutral point of view!

It's a good job you haven't mocked any other club for declining attendances recently Mick, or you'd look quite the fool right about now.

This was one of the fixtures you were hoping would boost your seriously flagging attendances.

I watched it, mate. The first half was good, but a bit one-sided in truth. The second half was fantastic as Barrow tried to undo all the damage they'd inflicted on themselves in the first. They almost did it, but Bauer's mistake (wicked bounce, but still a mistake) gifted Worrincy a try and that was that. Ah, the wonders of the internet!

Next year, I'd love to take in some Championship games, but it will need some planning. Easter is a possibility again, but a regular weekend offers the same number of possible games to see (Easter is Thur, Fri, Sat? & Mon; regular weekends are Thur, Fri, Sat & Sun - both offer 4 days). I'll plan it when the fixtures come out in November and let everyone know on here.

Does the attendance really matter?

I ask because I would expect poor attendances on Thursday evenings anyway. I can't imagine many away fans being able to travel and still get up for work on Friday (perhaps that's just me getting old, though?). Plus it's on the telly. Even home fans will think twice if there's bad weather.

So, I ask again. Does the attendance matter? I know the club would want to cover costs, obviously, but does it matter beyond that?
