Sun 24th Mar: The Betfred League One Match Thread

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Nice result for the Cru to start with on our longest journey of the season (to be repeated, thanks to loop fixtures, on 30th. June). Midland Hurricanes next week at home, looking forward to it.

Looks like it's going to be a long season for 2/3 clubs.

Quite disappointed Cornwall seem to have stagnated.

 

Cornwall have a key player suspended?

Not a good look at this time but expect them to be kicking harrises before long.

If your referring to Harry Aaronsen - he played this week for Cornwall

Just go back in from the Cornwall game. Travelled down on Saturday. Overnight on Saturday and Sunday night in Truro - so luckily the ground swap/ time cahnge didn't effect the fans that travelled down to support the Crusaders. 

What was a shock was we played on a 4G pitch in a college - no seating, standing area behind the goals, no food, no drink...I'm sure that when North Wales Crusaders applies last year (18th June) to have a game at Eirias Park on the second pitch, we were turned down - even though we still had the same changing rooms, access to hospitality a bar and food.... the RFL seem to have been very lenient with Cornwall allowing the game to go ahead with severely limited facilities. ....That said,  I'm glad it wen ahead as it would have been a long trip to find out it was postponed! 

First half, we were clinical with very few errors and hardly a penalty. We seemed to drop our concentration second half and Cornwall upped their game scoring some nice tries - although the final one was well after the hooter should have gone! 

Looking forward to next weeks game at Eirias Park - only a 92 mile round trip for this one!
