Leeds Met that is, not Leeds Rhinos



Away to Northampton Demons, Northampton having beaten Gloucester Unit today.

Anyone making the trip, let me know.....might even buy you a pint.

The match report is currently the lead article on the RFL's website.
Next week's game, 1:30pm KO.

Who's the smart money on, Richie?

TBH, probably Leeds Met. They're Super 8 champs, and beat Gloucester by 70+ points earlier this season, whereas our win was only 46-10. However, that was our first game in four months and we have home field advantage and a noisy crowd.

have a great time Richie



always enjoy amateur rugby and football as the players can hear the banter you give

Watched a classic grass roots challenge cup tie today between Drighlington and Hunslet Warriors

The match ended at 80 mins with the scores tied at 12 all

A further 10 minutes each way< but with a Golden point winner> was then played, but this was again pointless

The game was played out to a finish, and in extra,extra time the Warriors landed the decisive drop goal to seal the win and thus progressed to the 2nd round of the Challenge Cup

This game was a fantastic advert for grass roots RL, There was nothing at all between the 2 sides as the scoreline suggests, both sides deserve huge credit in producing such a classic encounter

today's first round results:

Elland 16 - 20 Thatto Heath Crusaders
Drighlington 12 - 13 Hunslet Warriors
Fryston 30 - 4 Stanningley
East Leeds 36 - 6 Crosfields
East Hull 24 - 10 Saddleworth Rangers
Leigh MR 28 - 10 West Hull
Nottingham Outlaws 30 - 32 Royal Air Force
Oldham St Annes 16 - 30 Hull Dockers
Myton Warriors 34 - 0 Ince Rose Bridge
Skirlaugh 16 - 14 Oulton Raiders
Rochdale Mayfield 38 - 14 Bank Quay Bulls
Leigh East 58 - 6 Heworth

Leeds Met's talk of the third round, and comment "I think we'll be faster and more skilful" is not going down well with the Northampton squad!

26-12 to Leeds Met. They had a very quick back three, and we made too many errors to be able to wear them down.

Watched East Leeds v Crosfields game, well played East Leeds !

I was at East Hull-Saddleworth.

Loughborough Uni v Northumbria Uni, and Leeds Met Uni v Edge Hill Uni or Hull Uni in Carnegie Challenge Cup round 2, ties to be played February 5/6th

Who was the East Leeds lad who got sent off? It was a belting uppercut - who trains Easts - Amir Khan? Cracking game, though, in terrible conditions. Great to hear one of the Crosfield lads say after one of the punch ups "it's great fun isn't it" with a huge grin on his face. Credit to all the lads who played.

Donal O'Reilly ( think he is Irish

sent off for a head butt. The Crosfields player had been niggling away the entire game.

Hull Dockers in next round

I think (although I could well be wrong) that Marcus St Hilare doe some coaching at Easts.

Watched Outlaws throw their game away, 10pts up with 3 mins to go against 12 men really should have seen us in the hat

First Round:

York Acorn 24 - 35 Milford Marlins
Leeds Met 44 - 14 Edge Hill Uni

Second Round:

Castleford Lock Lane 18 - 16 Stanley Rangers
East Hull 31 - 22 Myton Warriors
East Leeds 4 - 64 Hull Dockers
Egremont Rangers 22 - 10 Wath Brow
Hunslet Warriors 22 - 16 Wigan St Judes
Leigh East 16 - 18 Thatto Heath
Wigan St Patricks 16 - 18 Leigh Miners
British Army 27 - 16 Royal Air Force

That can't be right. Met beat Northampton in Round 1 two weeks ago, and Edge Hill lost to Hull Uni in Round 1 on Wednesday.
