Perspective isn't it? Doncaster were well off their game today and sneaked a win. Shocking completion rate in 1st half. Only 3 real attacking plays on the Coventry line and 2 tries. Completion in the 2nd half was slightly better but both sides looked knackered.

I would add btw that we've beaten Workington both home and away.

As said small sample of games. 

Itll be an unpredictable play offs for sure.

That away win at Workington along with NWC away win at Workington cost them the league title, ultimately you must make your home ground a fortress then build around that in away games, which is why Barrow have clinched it.

Wouldn’t like to say who will go up in the play offs will be very interesting. Hopefully a win next week for us and we can enjoy everyone else fight it out.

We were flying at that point. Missing Matty Beharell going into the playoffs may cost us. We had Cockayne and Sweeting in the halves today but without either Beharell or Johnston we're struggling to create anything.

 Can’t argue with that . We lost one away match . You can go back and pick the season to bits but it’s irrelevant now. You’ve just got to move forward , say you have the advantage in the play offs and try and make it count .

Call it a hunch, but I think Matty may be back next week.

The try called back for the Bears was for offside, the Dons also had one disallowed just before Johnson scored for a forward pass as well. 😄

I'd love to see Matty back for the playoffs Rob. Next week maybe a bit too soon? If Johnston is back next week I'll be happy enough.

I'd say if everyone is fit then York and Johnson are Dons best fringe runners. 

Theres a reason that Aaron York has as many tries as he has this season, and thats this.

Despite the result, we really enjoyed our day out at Keighley. It's a great set up there and the weather was kind for the families day which made for a really good occasion.

We had the upper hand in the first half and thought we might be in with a chance of our first win at Cougar Park, but Keighley played some really good stuff in the last 20 minutes or so and were the better team on the day, and deserved the win.

To start the day in third place with two games to go, and a mathematical (if highly unlikely) possibility of finishing top, is a fantastic achievement for our club and goes some way to explaining the celebratory mood in the bar after the game.

I think yesterday's results confirm the top six teams, with only the final placings between 3rd and 5th to be settled next week.

No apologies here as I just need to shout BARROW..BARROW…BARROW

Cracking last minute to your game - well worth catching the try and conversion on Twitter (unless you're a Hornets fan).

Can't disagree with that assessment.

 

Good turnout from the Cru away fans and a great party atmosphere in the Clubhouse after the game..
