Super League Result Grand-Final – St Helens 16-32 Leeds

ebbs — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:14:16 +0000

Here are the results from the Grand Final.

Sat 08 Oct 18:00 St. Helens 16-32 Leeds Rhinos Old Trafford Manchester

We called it correctly though for a while it looked like we would get it wrong. Score was tight at half time with a goal for Saints to a goal and converted Burrows try 2-8.
Saints then recovered and went into the lead at 16-8. But Rhinos came back strongly and pulled away to take a comfortable victory. It was a shame about the weather, but it did not detract from another excellent Grand Final.

Crusaders withdraw from 14 Team Super League 2012-14

ebbs — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:35:53 +0000

The Rugby Football League announced the 14 clubs to take part in the 2012-14 seasons at Old Trafford today. This followed the announcement that Crusaders had withdrawn.

Wakefield Wildcats had been expected to make way for Championship side Widnes, who were granted a new licence back in March. Halifax had also hoped to be granted a place but were not successful.

RFL chairman Richard Lewis, who made the announcement of the licence winners, disclosed that the Welsh franchise only decided to withdraw from the process on Monday. He said (quote) The Crusaders situation had been part of the licensing process for many months. It came as no surprise over the last week that things were coming to a head. The final decision from Crusaders came yesterday and the RFL made its decision yesterday. (end quote)

Crusaders’ withdrawal follows a troubled time for the Welsh outfit which saw them narrowly avoid a winding up order after being placed in administration last November.

Crusaders chief executive Rod Findlay said: (quote) his has not been an easy decision but after a lengthy and exhaustive examination of the club’s finances, our view is that Crusaders is not sustainable as a Super League club at this stage. Every other aspect of the application was strong and we now need to work to ensure that we retain those elements, particularly the community and player pathway programmes in North Wales, an area where no rugby league was played two years ago. A lot of people have done a lot of work to get us to where we are now but it has become clear that we cannot continue in our current guise and so a decision was taken to withdraw our licence application. We will now sit down with the Rugby Football League to consider our options for 2012 and beyond. In the meantime we remain committed to finishing the current season on a high and I am sure Iestyn Harris, his coaching staff and the players will do all they can to move us up the table. (end quote)
