Just got back from London. The Boys went out and did the job. 1st team debut tonight for James Haythornwaite who came on the 2nd half.

Jermaine Wray & George Raynor both picked up injurys, but hopefully they can be sorted in the 3 week break, though the very hard pitch at New River didnt help, & even a couple of Skolars players were struggling.

The Keighley tries were scored by Daley Williams, Brendon Rawlins (2), Dan Potter, Sam Gardner & Wray.

Final Score: London Skolars 10, Keighley Cougars 28

The break will be good, and at least the 'big match' to get us to the final will now be at home.

Congrats guys

Not really a convincing month from your team, looked like a struggle against both bottom teams in that period. Hunslet obviously a better performance against a better side, but I would say that you will have to play much better to beat a York team that are pretty clinical at the moment.The new players like Wildbore, Moore from Leeds, Big Ian Bell are making a huge difference to them having added a lot of pace and power, and your big pitch will suit them and their current fast attacking style of play. you will really have to be on top of your game to beat them in the play offs.

Anyone know the date for the semi-final? I work shifts, trying to find out if I need to swing a day off somehow..!

we have nothing to prove, the season lasted for 18 games and out of that we finished 2nd clear, we demolished rochdale so don't know where the struggle came from there?? Anyway we are winning without playing champagne rugby so just imagine when we hit top form in the playoffs! We have nothing to fear from York we have pace and class on our big pitch also.

Bring it on York!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that York you're talking about, the Rhino's bitch? If they do succeed, it will be a sad day for competitive Championship rugby, and a win for Super Doopper League at the expense of the game of Rugby League.

What a stupid retard you are.

oh yeah thats right you demolished THIRD bottom Rochdale....oh well now your talking, thats it then you must be sure to win now with that win on your record......what a quote to come out with
Now maybe if that had been Dewsbury you were talking about beating there would have been some credibility but please......
I dont think York have anything to fear having beaten you once and lost by a point at yours, and since then their team much faster/stronger and I think you will be in for a suprise.

We have absolutely nothing to fear against York or anyone else for that matter yes they beat us at their end and we beat beat them at our end so clearly nothing much between the 2 teams.

Whether a team loses by 1 or 20 it is still a loss so that point is irrelevant.

Yes we have lost Buster a big blow without doubt but that gives someone else a chance to step up and sign.

A question for the alleged York fan Rhino Roy strange the name Rhino is used for a York fan but then again.........Now that your fans have abused your main money man and his family to the point him trying to sell his stake in the club what next for you?

For some reason unknown to me there is a view amongst a few fans from various clubs borne out by discussions this weekend in London of York fans having a massive chip on their shoulders about something could be delusions of grandeur?

I agree that we can win, but I also feel we have to enter these matches in the right frame of mind and not one of being effortlessly invincible. Being invincible does not just happen it takes work and concentration.

A few facts and figures.

i. York Nilled London Skolars, LS put 10 past us.
ii. York put 64 past LS, we put 28.

I just feel we need to be careful not to get too carried away. We can win, but only with hard graft right across the pitch for 85 minutes.

Was at your game against London on friday, boy you were poor.
Another fact,
We put 84 past London in London, you managed what!! 28 and 22 of them were in the first half.
But no doubt, as allways you will try and raise your game.

To be quite honest what York fans think of us does not interest me in the slightest and as another pointed out concentrate on your own team.

Whilst mentioning statistics who has the most points in total between the 2 teams the answer is the Cougars its this that is most important not who scored what against London and other various teams.

At the end of the day assuming York beat Swinton next week we have the pleasure of showing York exactly why we have finished above them, I do however expect it to a close game.

Bring it on.
