I need a weekend without trains and beer otherwise I'd have been going to one of these. Still might...

North Wales Crusaders 22 v 26 Keighley Cougars 

Doncaster 22 v 20 Hunslet

Good luck to all teams and best wishes to the fans.

Too close to call with certainty in both matches, however I’ll go Crusaders and Donny

[spanishknight]

Crusaders by 12

Donny by 8

[FearNothing]

Cru and Donny for me too....wouldn't like to guess on scores.

[Johnny Ringo]

It's been a strange year and I've Been hit more than miss with predictions so I'm going against the grain again and saying both away wins. 

[gogledd]

Got to go with Crusaders of course, and I'll plump for Doncaster in the Eliminator.

I just hope the game at Eirias Park is easier on the nerves than our last home game against Keighley Cougars when we raced into a 26-0 lead, only to lose the lead 26-28 but then squeezed a very nervous win in the end! But I'd take that over a loss!

[Blind side johnny]

Crusaders and Hunslet for me.

[OriginalMrC]

Really would love to see Crusaders go all the way and get promoted (no disrespect to the other clubs). 

Think it'll be wins for Crusaders and Doncaster this weekend

Drizzly evening in Colwyn bay tonight, could make for lots of handling errors. Good travelling support from Keighley.

Halt time and it is Crusaders 6:14 Cougars.

[FearNothing]

Tense first half with some very dubious reffing.... Cru 6-14 Cougars at ht

[Jill Halfpenny fan]

Who is the ref?

[Futtocks]

Adverts at half time eh? That's encouraging.

[Futtocks]

Ah Van goes over out wide, but improves his positioning before touching down.

14 all!

[Hughsehhh]

I've probably missed it being mentioned elsewhere, but for anyone who fancies catching the conclusion of this tight game, it's free on the our league app right now 

[Hughsehhh]

14-22 to Keighley. The cougars' fitness is unreal, the linespeed with less than 10 mins left is winning them this game 

[Futtocks]

Santi gets his second, as the visitors move further ahead.

Crusaders 14:28 Cougars

And that's how it ended. A good, tough match.

[northamptoncougar]

Cougars cougars boing boing 

[Futtocks]

Doncaster v Hunslet tomorrow on OurLeague, in an eliminator. 4pm KO.

[FearNothing]

Oh well, there's always next week... Better side won tonight, but should have been closer on the scoreboard. We looked poor on last tackle plays tonight, especially when chasing the game......stroll on tomorrow to see who we've got to play next.

Dunno, but he's probably related to Crashley

[FearNothing]

Fair do's to cougars travelling fans, quite a lot here and vocal. Safe trip home all.
