LEAGUE ONE - PLAY-OFF FINAL
SUNDAY 6th OCTOBER
Keighley Cougars v Hunslet KO 15:00 (Sportsman)

 

[Dovster]

Hunslet have won this season at CP, so they will fancy their chances.

Should be a close one.

I'm going for the Cougars by 8

[StandOffHalf]

Hope Hunslet win.

I am not a huge fan of all the off-field (and on-field) social activism that Keighley are pushing.

[gogledd]

Keighley to edge it. Should be a great game

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Would like it to be Hunslet, but I suspect that it'll be Keighley.

[Fevrover]

Either, both Yorkshire so not bothered.

[Hopie]

Hope Hunslet make it to the next game, another freebie on youtube for some reason.

Two teams who could ruin someone else's catchment score if promoted, thrilling stuff..

[Yorks Tim]

Hunslet open the scoring with a lovely try finished by Ethan Wood. Fatty Barrel adds the extras.

 

[Yorks Tim]

Turner scores a second out wide that Beharrell fails to convert.

Flanagan Senior bumps into the latter in the process of kicking and gets sat down for 10 for excessive whinging.

Beharrell gets up to convert the penalty.  

Hunslet defending on their line keeps out Cougars response and it's 0-12 at half time.

Good game so far.

 

[Hopie]

Great performance from Hunslet in the first half, Cougars looked rattled at half time.

[Yorks Tim]

Flanagan The Elder muscles his way over by the sticks to halve the Hunslet lead.

6-12

 

[Yorks Tim]

Beharrell kicks another penalty to male it 6-14.

 

[Yorky]

Great game this. Brilliant try from Hunslet to make it 6-18, that should do it.

Once again, good coverage from the sportsman. I really hope they get more games next season 

[Yorks Tim]

Jack Render scores an aerial cracker on the left wing as Keighley lose their concentration at the final tackle.

Kick missed 6-18.

 

[Yorky]

Red card for Keighley - heads have gone now!

[Yorks Tim]

No matter as Matty B kicks another penalty to probably kill off the game at 6-20.

Lewis Hatton sees red as he fails to deal with the grief.

 

[Hopie]

Never seen someone sent off whilst lining up for the kickoff before, top effort!

[Yorks Tim]

Hunslet, having required 'third party assistance' to get past Midlands Hurricanes, have now blown away Rochdale and Keighley. I certainly wouldn't bet against them beating Swinton in the final.

 

[Vyvyan]

6-20 fulltime to Hunslet.   What happened with the red card?

Dissent got him a yellow but he wouldn't shut up.

I rewound to see what happened but I couldn't really tell. I think he must have said something the ref didn't like. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Great game and a tribute to the division. There’s been some really good rugby played by the teams in that league. Hunslet were up for it and Keighley weren’t at the races. Defence wins you games and Hunslet’s defence was top notch. Swinton better beware.

League 1 Try of the Season right there. Fantastic

[OriginalMrC]

Very good result for Hunslet who've really peaked at the right time. I fully expect a social media rant from Keighley in the next few days.

[gogledd]

Congratulations to Hunslet. Played their best rugby at the tail end of the season where it counts most. Definitely the best team today. Keighley let themselves down - didn't play as a team and their discipline was poor.
