York test in play-offs
Date published: 23 August 2010
OLDHAM Roughyeds will face York City Knights at home in a Co-operative Championship One qualifying play-off on Sunday, September 12 (3pm kick-off).
Hornets RL were the only side capable of overtaking the Knights to claim third spot, but they lost 26-16 at home to Blackpool in their final game of the season.
Oldham will attempt to take revenge on a York side who ran out 34-28 winners at the Whitebank Stadium earlier this season.
The winners of the tie will progress to the play-off final which will be played at Warrington's Halliwell Jones Stadium on Sunday, September 26.
The losers will get a second chance against Blackpool, Hornets RL, South Wales or Workington.
Hunslet rubber-stamped their title victory by seeing off South Wales 32-24 at the South Leeds Stadium.
The Roughyeds have one game left in the regular campaign, away to London Skolars on Friday night (6.30pm kick-off).
Comments
Maybe it's better to lose and have a second game if the latest financial news is anything to go by!!
So, providing Oldham beat London Skolars this weekend, they will end up with a 100% winning away league record. Quite a unique feat in the modern era; irrespective of the sport.
All thst remains, is to guess which Yorkshire club will yet again beat us in the grand final.
York springs to mind!

All the best in the play-offs. One can only hope that all goes well.
