Kick off time for North Wales v Doncaster is 14:30.

Wouldn't want anyone to miss the first half hour on Our League after all the fuss this week.

Is the Queensway available? Or better still somewhere away from Drakeford's jurisdiction. 

[DavidM]

This made me chuckle 

[Rob Nash]

Barrow, Skolars, Town, Cougars, Dons (just).

that would probably mean over the border, like Chester RU club again (remember those couple of games?)

 

Turtle-Head Drakeford has a lot to answer for (and no didn't vote Labour in the Sennedd elections!!) 

[Rob Nash]

Strong squad for Sunday. Peltier and Mudoti limped off last week but are both in the 21. I assume they're both fit as not many other props named. Sam Doherty and Josh Rickett are added to an already strong set of backs.

I'm going to Skolars tomorrow for my first live match since last year's Capital Challenge and hoping for a Skolars win, but whatever happens it'll be great to be watching rugby in person again.

Genuine chance of a victory I think having seen them last week.

Loved the games at Chester RU, great bar there, still go up for the odd Union game. 4G rugby union is almost as quick as RL. I missed the off road bikes screeching past though, only got that at the Queensway

first 4 games can't argue (although if Hunslet get on-track they could/should do Skolars), hope Cru are finding their groove now and we either pip Donny or at least run them close

Not been following much but saw Barrow's 1900 attendance.  If they can put up similar numbers this week it will be great. 

1750 this week.

Fantastic crowds for third tier rugby league.  Beating teams for fun, promotion front runners and making every game an event.  Should be a good summer and season for Barrow. 

36 point margin against promotion contenders and had 6 missing 4 ex Super League players . Promotion will be tough but looking very promising.

[latchford albion]

Skolars were poor.  If their defence doesn't improve dramatically then I fear for them next week against Barrow.

[OriginalMrC]

That Skolars scoreline is surprising especially at home.

Next home game vs Workington so should be aiming for 2000 again.  

Even if you dont go up putting yourself in a strong financial position next year when central funding is gone. But win vs Workington and you are in a great position to do so. 

I would have thought 3000 should be expected against Workington especially if they bring a few down !

Really poor today, worst performance of the season & poor discipline cost them again. 1st half was pretty much ‘Hunslet receive ball from kick off, make it to around half way line then Skolars give penalty away giving Hunslet another 6 tackles from which they score’ repeat process until half time & game over!

Hunslets full back unfortunately suffered a serious looking achilles injury right at the start of the game - hope he gets good treatment at the hospital & best wishes for his recovery.
