The highest placed team based on league table positions is at home in the play-off final.

The semi finals will be 2 v 5 and 3 v 4.

If 5 beat 2 and 4 beat 3, team four would be at home in the final. Team five don't take over as the highest ranked team left in even though they've beaten team 2.

Consequently, it's not possible for team 5 to be at home in the final as there will always be a better placed team playing against them. We need to finish 4th and hope team 5 beats team 2. Then we'd be at home in the final - against York, I would imagine!

2 v 5
3 v 4

Then highest placed finalist at home in final .

Correct me if I have this wrong but did Kyle do his hamstring on the chase from that kick (with a lot of top spin) from the French lad that the Haven 5 thought may have gone dead but the pressure from Kyle (superb chase) did for him and forced the drop out. It changed that last 15 mins IMO.

Squad for Sunday:

Zac Braham, Tom Carr, Mark Castle, Kieran Cross, Sam Doherty, Pete Green, Jordie Hedges, Mike Kelly, Charlie Martin, Jack Miller, Hakim Miloudi, Jason Muranka, Feka Paleaaesina, Nick Rawsthorne, Louis Sheriff, Russ Spiers, Jason Tali, Jamie Thackray, Ryan Wright.

No Kyle Kesik. I think Moonshine was right about the injury. Mike Kelly included. Tom Carr back. No Jordan Howden again. I wonder what the situation is with him?

I can't believe hes put Carr in, he's not had a decent game all season! would have been better with England in squad if he's not injured

I don't think we can underestimate the importance of the Whitehaven v Keighley game today. If Keighley win they could be hot on our tails; if they lose, it's going to be hard for them to overtake us. A loss for Keighley and a win for the Dons would put us in a good place. A loss for the Dons and a win for Keighley would mean we're out of the top five.

Match odds for today's games sees the Dons at 4/7 with Workington available at 6/4.

Whitehaven are 2/5 to beat Keighley. Keighley can be backed at 2.9 to 1.

Barrow are 1/3 to beat York. York are available at 3/1.

There has been a stoppage for an injury to Rawsthorne.

Half time: Whitehaven 20 Keighley 0

Keighley have given away too many penalties and fluffed their chances when they've had them.

Half Time:

Barrow 6, York 7.

Looks a very costly sin-bin.

Radio Cumbria commentary says Dons' head have gone down after the sin-binning.
