Talking of comebacks, Leigh now lead Bradford 22-20.

Full time London 26 Dons 22



Amazing effort after a poor start; can take a whole lot of optimism from that against one of the full time squads. Well done everyone, I shan't be going again

... and now 28-24.

After being 26-0 down, coming back to lose 26-22 sounds like a great effort.



My thoughts are the same as I posted at half-time but for different reasons: I don't know whether to feel pleased or disappointed!

Excellent effort, I didn't see that coming especially after London scored first in the second half.



I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of those who went. Did we take ages to 'get off the bus', was there an element of London thinking they'd got it won with the try early in the second half?

Today's results;



Batley 30 Workington 6

Leigh 36 Bradford 24

London 26 Dons 22

Whitehaven 16 Halifax 44

London were good and got the boumce a couple of times. We were slow off however, and once we got started, London struggled with us.

Sounds like we were better team from about 25 minute but paid for a woeful start

What a game, we were poor first 25 minutes, although the officials made a mistake when awarding London their 2nd try missing a knock on in the build up. I think we paid them too much respect and didn't play with any real intensity. 2nd half we looked hungry and determined to show what we can do, rankin was outstanding and linked up very well with cooke, Doherty finishing his first try with a great side step , every player increased their effort and intensity and our defence reminded me of last season away at fev. London were struggling in the last 20 and we looked like the full time team has fitness seemed to tell. We had a break in the last minute and with a straight kick from Doherty instead of across field and we would have secured a draw at least which would have been a fair result.

well done to the lads today (think that score shocked us all) sounds like we nearly turned them over, big shock for the Bradfordians too. Im looking forward to next week hope we can do it again. NOTE to the Club, please can we have a bit more info re, players and injuries , any info is good info, COYDs

Great effort from 26 pts down in 2nd half.

from what i heard another 5 mins and we may have won.



WELL DONE DONS

Well done you lot, our boys put the cue on the rack way, way too early! And you nearly made us pay - any team with Paul Cooke pulling the strings should not be taken lightly!

Hope you all had a safe journey home.
