Wins for

Hornets

Crusaders

Barrow

Workington

[EssexRL]

No game for us, which is a shame as I think we are getting better with each match we play.

Hornets

Barrow 

Town (although Bears will run them close)

Hard to call Hunslet or Cru TBH.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Worky the only home winners. Given the number of points that each defence shipped last week, Hunslet - Crusaders could go either way.

[Yorks Tim]

West Wales Raiders v Rochdale Hornets 8-48
Hunslet v North Wales Crusaders 26-22
Keighley Cougars v Barrow Raiders 26-38

West Wales 18-30 Rochdale at full-time

 

Credit to West Wales, looks like they’ve had a right dig there. I don’t think Rochdale are up to much this season, be lucky to finish top 5.

Definite improvement from the Raiders, they’re getting there.

As losses go, that's not bad for West Wales.

You may be correct, then again…..Hornets are in a rebuilding phase and have had a terrible run of injuries, which only now are reducing slightly with key players returning gradually to the squad.  That said, WW, from the Twitter feed, gave us a real test today and missed not a few chances to win the game. As WW find themselves, the very long match day journey between clubs does not help. Too often, we struggle with clubs much closer to home!  Good luck for the remainder of the season and hopefully you can upset some of our competitors for the top five!.  Pob lwc

WWR are definitely getting better. Some of their lads now have a large number of league 1 games under their belt. The more experience they get, the more they'll be able to compete. Can't help feeling they could have recruited differently this year. Going for Henson and Chase gave them publicity for sure but they needed experienced players in spine positions. Easier said then done I know based on their location.

Chase is experienced and was performing very well

Yes there were signs of improvement yesterday.  Again credit to our players they do not give up.

I wondered where the Badham brothers had ended up.  Both propping at WWR.

Both are young but how are they going.

[Johnny Ringo]

 Cougars leading Barrow 16- 6 HT Barrow lost 3 players to injury in that half and already had a stand in fullback as their fullback pulled out before the game. Looking very much like a Cougar win. 

[Johnny Ringo]

Barrow are going to be beaten today 22 - 6 

[Bearman]

28-6 now

[Bearman]

Barrow run out of subs 

[Bearman]

34-6 

[Johnny Ringo]

40- 6 Barrow are battered and all over the place, men injured and out of position. 

[Moscow01]

Goodness me, Barrow getting pummelled! I got that one very wrong indeed. Fair play Keighley.
