Betfred Championship: Live updates from final round

Thank you and goodbye

Thank you for your company throughout the regular season. Now it’s time to get ready for the play-offs. I think I’m right in saying that if Fev are triumphant at Bradford next weekend then they will meet Wakefield Trinity in the semi-finals at the DIY Kitchens Stadium! What a prospect that would be! But there’s plenty of rugby to be played before then!

Play-Off Confirmation

They may have lost this afternoon but Featherstone Rovers are in the play-offs...where they will meet Bradford Bulls at Odsal next weekend!

Fax have lost 23-20 at Whitehaven.

Full time at Wakey. They have thrashed Doncaster 72-6.

Whitehaven v Halifax

Fax are 23-20 behind at Haven.

Wakefield v Doncaster

Wakefield make it 72-6 against Doncaster.

It’s full time at Barrow and at Dewsbury. Widnes edge it in Cumbria, 26-24 to secure their play-off spot. They will now travel to York. And Dewsbury have beaten Sheffield 28-8. The Eagles will miss out on the play-offs. Fev will just about scrape in!

The hooter sounds at York. The Knights have made it into the play-offs. They have beaten Fev 16-6. But Fev should be joining them...

Wakefield v Doncaster

Wakey have hit over 1,000 points in a season!! They’re winning 66-6.

Dewsbury are now 28-8! Lewis Carr has scored. What an afternoon for the Rams!

Barrow are within two points! They trail 24-26.

Wakefield v Doncaster

Wakey are 54-6 against Doncaster.

Liam Harris scores for York! Does that just nail down York’s spot in the play-offs?

14-6

Dewsbury v Sheffield

The Eagles have pulled a try back. 22-8. Is it too little, too late though to save Sheffield?

We have about 15 minutes remaining. No change at the LNER Community Stadium. York still lead 10-6. But with Dewsbury beating Sheffield, Fev will still make the play-offs.

Widnes have some breathing space. It’s now 22-14.

Wakefield now lead the Dons 40-6.

The Panthers have clawed it back to 22-20 as Woodburn-Hall claims his hat-trick try.
