Fenton Knight

The sun is out, and as John has already stated, it’s going to be a great day for a game of rugby. Its been 6 weeks since the last home league game so this is long overdue. Think it will be tight for the first 10 mins or so then we’ll be treated to a try fest. No pressure boys. Knights by 46.

Wins for Hull KR and London today made the SL table even more interesting - there’s just four points departing the bottom seven clubs.

Hull KR beat Warrington at home this afternoon. Good start for Tony Smith.

Another huge game and another huge two points up for grabs. Realistically, there are eight teams chasing five play off places, and the Knights are right in the mix. It would be a huge achievement for everyone associated with the club to secure a top five spot. But the table is very tight and home games are fast running out - only four remain, with seven left on the road. We need to secure home wins at fortress BC to give us any chance. Rochdale head to town tomorrow desperate for points to secure their Championship survival. They will be doing their utmost to take the points back over the hill. We need to be there in numbers to show our support. Let’s be noisy, let’s get behind the lads, and let’s secure the win.

So the teams through so far are: York, Leigh, Batley, Dewsbury, Barrow, Doncaster.

Halifax trail Sheffield 4-30 with 29 remaining.

Widnes lead Fev 22-6 with 19 left.

Not all sides seem to be taking this cup seriously. Bradford had ten debutants with an average age of 20 years and six months.

Just been having a read of the York community stadium and travel plan below. Appendix 2. https://planningaccess.york.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=NGS6ZJSJH2900 Makes interesting reading. It is dated December 2014 so not sure if it still represents the latest thinking. Expect it won’t have changed a great deal.

Takes me back to the early 80’s. Slalom Lager were sponsors of the Rugby League Championship as it was known then. They even produced their own beer mats with rugby league trivia on them. Kept me occupied for hours!

We know we can win there.

Can’t make the game as supporting Mrs Fenton in the Coniston half marathon. . Still, I do get to sample a few Cumbrian beers. All is not bad. Come on boys, see us safely through. .

Widnes lead Sheffield 26-0 approaching ht.
