London Skolars 4 - 56 Hull K R

Ha ha!

Our quest continues apace.

Robins for Super League 2006!!!!

[Graham Las Darrington]

Hull KR were always going to win this one. All the same it was another convincing and professional performance from the Robins with a few of their players going into the match without any recent rugby under their belts. What a memorable game for Jonathan Steel. He only went and scored five (5) tries!!!!!. A good team performance against probably the weakest team in their group.
Robins Team:
1. L.Wildbore,
2. J.Steel,
3. P.Parker,
4. K.Epati,
5. B.Ford;
6. P.Mansson,

Spot on cam; and this from the next tier of RL over here. One of the big positives over here is the way the game is spreading on the amateur front widely but within a co-ordinated structure. As you remind us by your comments, what matters is that folk put themselves up to play the game, produce entertaining and satisfying rugby and develop a wider following.

Bramley dropped out of the the professional game over here a few seasons ago. Instead of just re-forming and then being allowed back in, they've had to join with the other wannabees and prove themselves. It's great to hear that W Wizards, Bramley and other deserving clubs are producing such good rugby league.

By the way cam, Bramley's Latin motto is Non Sine Pulvere Palma (No
palm of victory without the dust of struggle) ... Now that's a good motto!

London 34-20 Wigan
London Broncos make it three wins out of three Super League home games with victory over Wigan Warriors. Dennis Betts upset with his young guns for their poor discipline.

There were no upsets as no amateur team beat any professional team, though some put on a real good show e.g. Waterhead v Sheffield. See if you can pick out the French and Russian clubs. Oh and there was a tight game at Rochdale! I think the Hornets sealed it in the first minute! Now that must be close to a record score.

Featherstone 48 - 10 Thornhill The amateur visitors tried the strongarm stuff, but Rovers kept their discipline and won convincingly.
Blackpool 18 - 58 Toulouse
Rochdale 120 - 4 Illingworth I caught some of this on Radio Leeds. Illingworth came off at the end of the match to genuinely enthusiastic applause as despite the score they never gave up and earned the respect of everyone there. It was amazing and very pleasing to hear. Salt of the earth RL supporters!

Hull 36 - 33 Wakefield This was a superb game with a grandstand finish. Both teams had the lead near the end, both deserved a win, but Hull FC scored the most important points and got their battling win. Among the try scorers: Richard Swain for Hull and Semi Tadulala for Trinity Wildcats.

Congratulations.

Gateshead 6 - 56 Union Trezieste Catalan

Hmmm...not quite so keen on this result - Robins have drawn UTC in round 4.
Still, the theory is we probably have to beat one of the top teams to win the thing so let's call it a good warmup game.

[Graham Las Darrington]

Thanks TC ...and good luck to the Robins in the next round. All Fev have to do is beat Bradford Bulls in the next round and we are well on the way to the final!
I was mistaken when I said no amateur team had got through the last round. One match was played on the

Salford 12 - 30 Leeds
A comfortable victory for Leeds at The Willows. Marcus Bai got a try in the first half. Karl Harrison, Salford's coach unhappy with some of the decisions that went against them.

Bradford 32 - 22 Hull
Bradford held off a strong Hull team to grind out a 4th successive SL win. Stephen Kearney played his first match for Hull.

Wigan 62 - 6 Leigh
Wigan back on track as they thrashed bottom side Leigh at the JJB Stadium. Irish wingman Brian Carney celebrated his comeback with a first half try. The jinxed player then damaged his knee in the final minutes of this one sided match. Danny Tickle and Sean O'Loughlin were outstanding.
