To add a little more interest, I've put together a results' grid for League One 2022.

I'll update it after each round of games. You'll be able to keep tabs on who has had easier games and who has had tougher games.
You may find it easier to view if you click on the image.

Please let me know if the table is big enough for you to easily read on your device. If it's too small, I'll make it bigger next time, if it's too big, I'll make it smaller.

I'm working on a desktop PC with a large screen so I can't easily judge it.

Thanks Mike, very handy.

This weekend's fixtures:

London Skolars v Rochdale
West Wales v Dons
North Wales v Midlands
Keighley v Swinton
Oldham v Cornwall

Wins for Rochdale, North Wales, Oldham and the Dons look on the cards. The most intriguing game is Keighley v Swinton.

From our point of view, Skolars beating Rochdale would help and Midlands doing over N Wales would help.

Good convincing win for the Cougars, are Swinton maybe not as good as they showed at ours? North Wales just against Midlands, North Wales had a 'weakend' side out allegedly and only 3 on the bench.

As Wilf says, Swinton's loss by 30 at Keighley was somewhat of a surprise. Whilst Swinton looked good against us, I felt their pack wasn't the biggest and as we know you need a sizeable pack in this league. Perhaps that's their weakness and teams like Keighley can exploit it on a tight pitch.

Here's a link to the latest league table: [urlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/league-one/table[/url

[uNext round of games[/u: Cornwall v Rochdale; N Wales v West Wales; Dons v Oldham; Keighley v London Skolars; Midlands v Hunslet.

Wins for Rochdale, N Wales and Keighley look extremely likely.

We've got a serious test against Oldham. We can't afford to be losing home matches like this.

The interesting game is whether Hunslet are good enough to win at Midlands. A Midlands win is probably best for for the Dons.

Jaw dropping score Keighley v London Skolars. Crusaders predictable against their Southern countrymen.

Grid updated after matches played on 1st May. I've added extra columns to show the number of matches played, points, and points difference and re-ordered into League table positions - more data and hopefully easier to follow.



As Wilf mentioned, Keighley have got the bit between their teeth. Skolars seem to be struggling. Seems like they're in a battle with Cornwall and West Wales to fight out the bottom three spots.

Next weekend's games:

Saturday: Rochdale v Midlands and W Wales v Keighley
Sunday: Dons v N Wales; Hunslet v Cornwall; Swinton v London

Five of the six games look relatively easy to call. How will we cope with N Wales? Could Midlands possibly get something at Rochdale? They lost 36-16 at Rochdale in the Challenge cup on 30th January.

Some interesting matches next weekend:
Saturday 14th May: London v Dons
Saturday 14th May: N Wales v Oldham
Sunday 15th May: Cornwall v West Wales (Someone will open their account for the season! Kick-off is 1pm and free to view on Our League)
Sunday 15th May: Hunslet v Swinton
Sunday 15th May: Keighley v Rochdale

Who are the winners? Dons, N Wales, Cornwall, Swinton and Keighley?

Results: London 12, Dons 44; N Wales 30, Oldham 16; Cornwall 0, W Wales 20; Keighley 40, Rochdale 16; Hunslet 16, Swinton 28.

The Dons did what was needed in London. Keighley showed their authority by beating Rochdale whilst Swinton emphasised the gap between the top bunch of teams and the rest.

W Wales got a deserved win in Cornwall in an error strewn match. Cornwall put in a poor performance and were clearly second best. It was bad tempered at times but it's always nice to see the game played with passion!

Next week: Swinton v Cornwall; Rochdale v Dons; West Wales v Hunslet; Keighley v Midlands

Wins for Swinton, Hunslet and Keighley look likely. If the Dons don't win at Rochdale, I at least hope they're competitive otherwise the gap between the best and the rest will look rather more ominous.

The points difference column in the league table tells the story: the top four are +248, +241, +177, +152, followed by Oldham +62, Dons +40 and Hunslet +20.

Updated after games played Saturday 21st May:
(Click on the grid to enlarge it)
Saturday results: Swinton 54, Cornwall 16; Rochdale 46, Dons 28; West Wales 12, Hunslet 50.

The top four (N Wales, Keighley, Rochdale and Swinton) still haven't been beaten by a side outside the top four.

As referenced earlier in this thread, those four seem to be the ones fighting out the top four places. Dons, Hunslet and Oldham are battling for 5th, 6th and 7th. Everything pretty much seems to be as it was before.

Getting automatic promotion is virtually an impossible task already. We'd probably have to go through the rest of the season without dropping a point to have a chance.

Our points against is 242. Only West Wales, Cornwall and London have conceded more. We've leaked over 30 points per game on average.

Our points difference is +22 which is better than the previous three teams and Midlands.

I'll update the grid again after the Sunday games and add the forthcoming fixtures.

Click on the grid to enlarge.

Keighley beat Midlands 29-18 in today's only match. Keighley return to the top on points difference with N Wales second. Both are currently on 8 wins from 8 games.

There's only one match next weekend: London v Oldham

Saturday 4th June: Cornwall v London and the big one N Wales v Keighley
Sunday 5th June: Dons v Hunslet; Midlands v W Wales; and Oldham v Swinton

The Dons have no game the following weekend. They return to action on Sunday 26th June at N Wales with a trip to Swinton the week after.

Thanks DM

Reading the Keighley Twitter feed they were pushed very hard by Midlands and only came out on top late on.
