What a start to the second half York have made! 

[Futtocks]

Now York take the lead! Try to Stock.

,London not in it this half, has I said it was up to Ford to rally his troops he, most certainly has, 2 tries in two mins 6 down to 6 in front.

Pelisser with a solo effort ! Great hit back from Eloi! That is where he is for that person asking about him the other day on here

[The Hallucinating Goose]

London hit back. We've got a game on!

York's half backs have managed to make good use of the wind with that 40-20, something London didn't do enough of in the first half.

Must say I am impressed with James Meadows and I have always liked Cory Aston the more they play together the better they will get and the team will benefit.

Could be a dilemma when Morgan Smith comes back from injury, he was our main half back in SL last year with Abdull.

Great half-back  combo to create that try for Armitage, good dilema to have.

Much better quality match this compared to the Bradford game earlier - Expansive rugby is great to watch.

[Futtocks]

Buffering again, what joy. The bits of this match I've managed to see have been rather good, too.

[Harry Stottle]

Where are all the Ealing Folk?

Cru 18-22 Hunslet result

Good tight game here at Trailfinders - wouldn't be surprised if there are some handbags in the last 5 minutes. 

Egodo has been really been good in the air so far, some great takes.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

York try!!

[Yorks Tim]

Think that was on the cards for Knights

This is a close last few minutes, York ahead with less than 5 to go.

And there is the game - Full time York win 24 - 22.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

FT. York win with a try in the last minute! 

[Man of Kent]

Now that was a cup tie. Cracker.

[Moove]

Excellent game! Well done York

Does that mean that the Broncos have the least congested fixture list of the top Championship teams? Seeing how we're now out of the CC, and didn't even enter the 1895 cup?

[BD20Cougar]

I hope York go on to get a home tie against a top super league team, what a great game and occasion that would be.

[welshmagpie]

Fantastic game that and all credit to York for sneaking back into it.

A lot of praise for Aston and Meadows, who did look very good in attack I just was never sure on their last tackle plays.

A joy to watch two teams willing to throw the ball about.

[Man of Kent]

What’s the latest on York’s new ground? When will it open?

[Harry Stottle]

Well done York, looked dead and buried after 15mins,

Just thinking do the Championship clubs who are expected to be in contention at the end of the season need the distraction of the cup,  this may do London a favour especially that Tolouse have been allowed to cry off again - which I think they should not be allowed to do so.

So come Monday's draw I would love to have Toronto at Leigh and I wouldn't care if we won or lost, well not the day after at least, it is good to have a cup run for the fans but going all out for promotion is the holy grail this season for the championship clubs, who know's what SL will do next year with a new TV deal in the offing.
