Wed 14th-Sun 18th Sept: The Betfred Championship Match Thread

Tough game at Craven Park with Barrow falling short going through to the next round. 

Barrow 8 - Batley 18.

Best of luck to Batley in the next round.

Sounds like a belter. Wish I hadn’t been forced out for beers by an older boy.

[dkw]

One if the most entertaining games I've seen all season, fantastic stuff.

[sentoffagain2]

  That little word HOPE seems much bigger after that superb performance by York.Thompson,Clarkson,and Edwards were superb in the York pack.A well deserved win.

[Harry Stottle]

I honest don't know what all these accolades is that Joe Keyes keeps receiving, a hard game when he has to stand up and lead Fax and he goes missing, Clarkson, Kirkmond Thompson what games from the owd bhuggers.

[Phil]

Devastated with the result but I’m sure the neutrals really enjoyed it 

[Rockingchair]

Fax fan here , congratulations to York , not gonna deny it hurts but no complaints York turned up and deserved to win . 

[paulwalker71]

What a game and well done to York

I expect they'll get mullered next week, but fully deserved that they at least got to the Semi 

[Harry Stottle]

So we at Leigh look forward to welcoming York next week, how much will this effort have taken out of them, not to much I hope, looking forward to q good game.

[Harry Stottle]

Whoops just thought Batley go to Fev, they must be confident taking 3 points from Fev this season.

[gavin7094]

Not quite sure why so many wrote York's chances off.   We have only lost 3 times away this season.

Nor me lol. I didn't think Leeds would beat Wigan,Batley wasn't too much of a shock.

Halifax had only lost 2 in the last 21 i  believe and were really confident. Cracking win for York.

Yes I understand but Halifax have only won 2 more games than us this season.  We fully deserved our 6th place finish.
