Very pleased with that. Yeah ok. Next weeks more important but it certainly doesn't hurt!

Always remember the Halifax - Saints game as the two trainers (as physios were know as in those days) had an, um, altercation on the touchline at the end of the game!

[Thunder fan]

All latest scores.

Thanks, JonM.  Did these turn out to be the final scores?

I forget how this competition is structured; what happens next?

[AB Knight]

The York game finished 30-16, crowd 797. Newcastle competed well and took the lead, a big side with some good players, like their season they struggled to perform consistently otherwise it could've been closer. York will be pleased with the result, potential banana skin which they never looked like losing.

Just put BBC RL results on, nothing on this comp, can't really understand why, after all they really do well at producing the games they televise.

[Harry Stottle]

Well its no point venting our anger at the BBC,  now 20:14 hours Sundy 2nd June, no results on from Today's fuxtures on the RFL website, what a shower of she-ite they are!

[Tangle]

Totally agree does nobody care at the RFL anymore

I would assume it's because the RFL are not giving them the fixtures or results.

Latest scores and FT scores were on the BBC RL page on the tele in the afternoon but not on the website on the phone.

Not only the BBC.....the Skysports Centre website was showing the matches as the League 1 Cup.

With a blue chip sponsorship in place the competition will now get the media attention it deserves.

Looks like the Bulls are sending their academy and juniors to Barrow on Wednesday. John Kear has made a statement that none of the squad from yesterdays game will be playing.With another 7 players injured anybody with a pair of boots might get a game on Wednesday.

Batley will be happy about that they play them next Sunday Odsal

[paulwalker71]

Bulls have named an 18 man squad for the Barrow game, with none of the players who played yesterday. A mix of fringe players and Under 19s - expect to see a Barrow win, probably a heavy one.

Don't worry Harry Stottle, the team against Batley will be very similar to that against Halifax yesterday  One or two from the Barrow game might force their way into contention, but it will only really be to cover any injuries.

TL:DR We aren't taking the 1895 Cup all that seriously!
