Well we've reached that time of year again where all the league form goes out of the window and it comes down to eighty minutes of hard graft to decide who will progress in the play-off series.
The Championship operates a top six play-off and the following teams made it through the tough weekly rounds: Featherstone, Halifax, Leigh, Barrow, Widnes and Sheffield. Five of those teams made the play-offs last year while Leigh have risen up the table this term having been officially relegated at the end of last season and then re-instated in the competition after Gateshead were found to have overspent and the outpost club had to start again.
This weekend's fixtures in the Championship Play-offs are:
Thu 2 Sep: Leigh Centurions V Sheffield Eagles
ko: 19:30, Venue: Leigh Sports Village
Sun 5 Sep: Barrow Raiders V Widnes Vikings
ko: 15:00, Venue: Craven Park
It is also the start of the play-off series in Championship One to decide the second promotion place. Hunslet Hawks proved worthy winners of the league title and now Oldham, York, Blackpool, Rochdale, South Wales Scorpions and Workington Town will do battle.
The sudden death semi-finals this weekend are as follows:
Sun 5 Sep Blackpool Panthers RLFC V Workington Town RLFC
ko: 15:30, Venue: Fylde RUFC
Sun 5 Sep Rochdale Hornets V South Wales RLFC
ko: 15:00, Venue: Spotland Stadium
It should be a great weekend of action!
