Well done York. I did say a coupe of weeks ago it's too early to say it will be a Wakey/Toulouse final. 

Puts even more interest on the Bulls/Fev game today. 

Yeah the Peter Fox trophy .

So..... no change at the top between 1st and 5th with 4 of those teams losing.

I don’t think anyone on here tipped the Knights for a win today, some even had us down for a trouncing! Oh ye of little faith!!
seriously, though, one hell of a result to go there and bring home ‘ le bacon’ as     T O been playing well recently, having said that, apart from the slip up at Fax the knights haven’t been too shabby either of late.

TO lost to Doncaster last week.

That was at  Doncaster, the Knights were at Toulouse, they are a different prospect at home and don’t appear to have travelled well this season.

Despite their win over Donny, Whitehaven coach Jonty Gorley announced his resignation live on air in his after-match interview on Radio Cumbria. Left the club with immediate effect.

I’m not surprised. Unable to name a full team on more than 1 occasion; unable to hold training sessions; probably not being paid

He said in his interview that it’s because he can’t work with a couple of the new directors, clash of personalities and irreconcilable differences was the phrase he used.
