A word of advice for those going to the Keepmoat on Saturday, it's St Leger Day so the town centre and some routes in are going to be very busy

I am not knocking the decision to play at Doncaster it gives us the best chance to progress and most likely play at Doncaster again in the next round !! but it will be a low crowd and no doubt Doncaster will charge a nice fee for letting us to play there so no profit. However with both Doncaster teams playing away why are we not playing on Sunday. I am working Saturday night starting at 7 and with lots of people in town for the st leger buses and trains could be affected and delayed so probably wont bother will wait for the following week !!

Doncaster Belles at home, pal.

If we win, we'll be away to the loser of Fev v Halifax.

Fair enough about the belles but no match is showing on their website !!!

Just to confirm week 2 fixtures if griffs prediction proves correct (I hope you are right and Doncaster beat Leigh because that way we will avoid Leigh until the G/F)

Leigh v Dewsbury (or Workington)
Halifax/Fev v Sheffield

Week 2
Preliminary semi-finals
Highest ranked Qualifying play-off losing club (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) v Lowest-ranked Elimination play-off winning club (5th, 6th, 7th or 8th) (winner away in Week 3, loser eliminated)
Lowest ranked Qualifying play-off losing club (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) v Highest-ranked Elimination play-off winning club (5th, 6th, 7th or 8th) (winner away in Week 3, loser eliminated)

Can understand why people are disgruntled with the decision but we've gave ourselves a better chance of progression. If we lose, we lose and so be it. If we win, I'd fancy us going to Fax or Fev and nabbing a result.

Seriously guys, we're not going to beat Leigh. Had another three carried off at the weekend and looked like we'd stooped playing for this year

Ask any Sheffield or Batley fan and they'll tell you Leigh away in the play-offs is like being given a bye in to next round! Leigh haven't won a play-off game since 2004!

Bit of a bummer for us. Going to have to end our holidays a bit sooner than we would have liked.
