Can North Wales do it again? South Leeds Stadium not normally a happy place for us but we have the momentum and Hunslet have all the pressure.

North Wales Crusaders win

[SUPERSTUD]

My head says home win with some ups and downs during the game. NWC have been great and showed tremendous heart. They will be no easy beats.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

The Cru in golden point extra time (ie haven't a clue, but keeping my fingers crossed). Skolars dropping out gives this a bit of (hopefully not literal) bite. Don't fancy being a L1 club next season!

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

Hunslet, by three tries.

Has The Sportsman got a reputation for sloppiness?

I've seen it spelt Doncaster, to be fair.

[Yorks Tim]

Crusaders kick a penalty in the dying seconds of the first half to regain the lead. 

12-14 at the South Leeds Stadium. Decent game if somewhat error-strewn. 

[Yorks Tim]

Adam Ryder runs through a very open Crusaders defence to give Hunslet the lead again.

Crusaders lose Massam to injury.

18-14

 

[Yorks Tim]

Dropped ball 5 yards out gifts NWC an equalising try touched down by Taylor.

Kick is missed.

18-18

Was it definitely a HIA he went off for?

Sorry - I missed the detail

[robt]

18-19

Abel with a drop goal

[Yorks Tim]

Beharrel misses drop goal at one end.

We proceed to the other and Crusaders nail one - Owen Able, who has been all over this.

18-19

[Yorks Tim]

Oakley powers through a tired Hunslet defence to score under the posts.

18-23 KTC and that should be it

[robt]

Losing a player early on to a HIA failure didn't help Hunslet

[FearNothing]

WooHoo!!! What a win....now on to our Nemesis in Donny next week!!!

[sentoffagain2]

                 Hunslet always looked second best even when the were in front.Well deserved win for Crusaders and Abel would have no problem stepping up to Championship level.

[Harry Stottle]

Wow what a game and brilliant entertainment that was, throughly deserved by N Wales who in my view was on the wrong side of about 6 or 7 50/50's.

Abel was superb all afternoon and so was Rainford he must have put in 50 tackles, don't know why he was subbed near the end.

I have seen both games these just two weekends and can't wait for next week.

Harry, if you were a Cru fan you'd be more than used to that sort of thing by now!! 

[OriginalMrC]

Well done Crusaders. What a finish to the season. Hunslets fans will be fuming! 

[the old nine ole]

So Hunslet missed Lawford more than Crusaders missed Hayes.   Will Warrington release him to play in the final?

[weighman]

Best team who had the best player won the game .

Should be a good game next weekend .
