Great win for Acorn

[HaxbyKnight]

The long journey was well worth it. 18 -10 win for the Acorn. Well done.

[DEANO]

Very well done. Guaranteed amateur opposition in next round too

[Puk]

Fantastic win today I'm sure a few will be drunk on the journey back.

Great result, fair old trek down there and to come away with the win is great for the club, even though the coffers will be short of a few quid. Well done.

what’s all this about?

sour grapes or is there more to it?

 

Cornwall RLFC have been made aware of comments directed at members of our playing squad, medical staff and our ball crew, from a small section of away supporters at today’s Betfred Challenge Cup tie.

The club does not condone this abhorrent behaviour as acceptable within the sport of rugby league, and it is not within the values of the newly launched Respect: Let’s make our game better together, campaign.

Cornwall RLFC will now follow the correct Rugby Football League procedures in reporting these unsavoury incidents, that spoilt today’s match, our first fixture of 2024.

The club will make no further comment on this matter

I imagine some people have got a bit over excited at being out for the day, had too much to drink and they’ve made a show of themselves.

Double header maybe - Knights and Acorn?

Very much doubt Acorn would want to give up home advantage/bar receipts.

The Knights aren't through yet, don't jump the gun.

Just been looking on X, (formerly known as twitter), at the Acorn game today. Looks as if it was a feisty affair, played in a mudbath. Plenty of cards, and a couple of brawls. I just hope nothing backfires on Acorn and they don't end up getting fined over anything that may or may not have happened. I doubt they've made any money from today.

Nice of Hendo after the knights game to acknowledge Acorn on the great win over Cornwall more than can be said of the the local paper.

Give the local rag a chance, it will be in by Thursday

[BridKnight]

Have to rename them York Oak by the time the Press report the game.

Thanks for that Simon. The pitch made Dewsbury's look like Wimbledon.

York Acorn vs Wath Brow should be a cracking game and good for one of them to advance to the 5th round and a decent pay day.

[BridKnight]

Onward to the next round for Acorn.  Beat Wath Brow Hornets 32-28 earlier today.  Well done Acorn!
