ONLY one of Saturday’s ties in the preliminary round of the 2026 BARLA National Cup went ahead.
Thatto Heath Crusaders won 32-22 at Moldgreen but Clock Face Miners, Oldham St Annes and Oulton Raiders conceded to, respectively, Ince Rose Bridge, Featherstone Lions and Bentley.
The match between Ellenborough Rangers and Siddal was, similarly, awarded 18-0 to the hosts although Elbra official Robbie Thompson told League Express: “Siddal didn’t enter the cup but were still trying to raise a side. However, due to (the Bank Holiday Saturday) being in the calendar as a free weekend, they were unable to do so.”
