We supped with the Keighley supporters in the bar near the turnstiles...it was £3:80 in there.
We had one in the viewing bar at half time and I payed by card so never noticed the price there.

If I saved 50p per pint then that is good.
Bumped into Jemmo as we went in.


He was happy then

Hunslet beat Oldham 21-8. Beryl kicked four goals.

Cornwall beat Midlands 28-8.

N Wales 24, Worky 32.

The table is now:

Dews: 14, 27, +376
Huns: 14, 22, +243
Dons: 12, 20, +154
Oldh: 14, 19, +208
Work: 13, 18, +150

Providing we win at least four of our last six games, Oldham can't catch us.

Dons games: Midlands (H), Workington (A), N Wales (A), London (A), Cornwall (H), Dewsbury (H).

Assuming we'll beat Midlands, London and Cornwall, we'll have to beat one of the other three. Surely, we'll do that? We shouldn't finish worse than third.

Dewsbury need to win three out of their last four to be assured of being champions. They've got to play:

N Wales (H), Hunslet (A), Workington (H), Dons (A).

Dewsbury could have the title in their pockets before we play them. We can win the league if we win all our games and Dewsbury lose two of their four remaining games.

Hunslet's games: Dewsbury (H), Rochdale (A), London (H), Workington (A)

The pivotal game is Hunslet v Dewsbury. If Hunslet win all their remaining games, we must win all our games to stay ahead of them - assuming their points difference stays better than ours. - which, of course, means we'd have to beat Dewsbury to finish second.

If Dewsbury beat Hunslet, five wins out of six means we will definitely finish ahead of Hunslet.

What do you reckon is the best outcome for us in the Hunslet v Dewsbury game apart from a mass brawl with 26 players sent off resulting in all red carded players each getting an 8 match ban?

I'm not sure which way I want it to go. I'd like to keep the hope of winning the league alive but I don't like the idea of a Hunslet win as it possibly means having to play Hunslet away in a play-off game if we don't finish second.

Just got to get back to winning ways . Can see some changes in the backs with Hall , Johnstone & Tali returning if fit & Butterworth making his debut. The forwards en bloc had an off day at Hunslet . Smeaton moving back into the forwards will be a plus.

I think in practical terms we want Dewsbury to beat Hunslet.
We want to finish 2nd...
Don't think we will beat Dewsbury so won't finish top....
The cavalier in me wants Hunslet to beat Dewsbury and for us to win our last 6 games.. and WE are champions.
Roy of the Rovers stuff!
Yes I know that was football.

There are no more free weekends now for the Dons and I'm hoping that this mini break has helped the injured to recover and built some fitness into Watson. I know its a cliché but it is in our hands to secure that second place. Hunslet are on a roll and good luck to them for staging that, however I will be surprised if they took the points off of Dewsbury which would mean (rightly IMO) Dewbury would secure promotion before we play them at home.

Hoping for a proper performance this coming Sunday and the players are focused for this vital run in. Workington away is now looking like a belter of a fixture.

The Rams look nailed on to finish top , our priority now is a second place finish to ensure home draws throughout the play offs.

Hunslet are on a roll , however I would be more than confident of a Dons win should we draw them or Oldham at the Eco Power in the play offs.

Our performance again Hunslet was the worst I have witnessed in almost 20 years ,a bad day at the office for virtually the whole team.
This could be the kick up the ar5e the players need to focus on the remainder of the year.

I will not be attending a single game between now and the Dewsbury game.
Just circumstances....
So I look forward to views on the games in between now and then....
