ha ha............ Don't worry as you will be in, Barrow haven't got the youth set up or ground etc - so they are living in cuckoo land if they think that they will get in....... Fax ain't ready yet and like I`ve said in the past that Leigh ain't (even if we could of applied), Fax haven't got the strength in depth/ youth set up that is needed to be a success at SL level and need to build this if they want to make the grade.

It's a three horse race. In lane one - Barrow. Lane two - Halifax. Lane three - Widnes.

".....and they're off!!! .........
Barrow trots out and is immediately shot by the stewards - trainer Des Johnston is fuming. Halifax in lane two off to a slow gallop - it's going to be hard for that horse with Nigel Wood riding it. In lane three Widnes are steaming ahead - ridden by professional knob-jockey little Dickie Lewis. .....we're at the 2m and 4 furlong mark and Halifax has thrown it's Jockey. They'll be using the hole left by that landing as a new water feature for the Grand National - Widnes now 64 lengths ahead approaching the last and the bookies favourite is sure to win ........at the finish line now and Widnes takes it, followed by a riderless Halifax. Barrow taken to the abbatoir to make Super League Pies. Terrific race and the knob-jockey Lewis leaps from his saddle into the arms of owner Steve O'Connor in the winners enclosure".

Very good Rich.But you forgot to mention the mixed scenes of jubilation and disappointment at the course.The Viking punters threw their cloth caps into the air in celebration whilst tb,League fan and saddened left in disgust,tearing up their betting slips.
