at post office road, for more sunday evening rugby league action. play off semi final to to to decide who replaces relegated wakefield trinity in su per league. 

featherstone rovers vs the london broncos. 

feathe spectacularly came a cropper at this stage last year, when they lost to part timeers battley. 

they'll play toulouze, in next sunday's £1 million game for a place at rugby league's top table if they can dispose of the broncos, who won their play off eliminator 42 0 over sheffield eagles last sunday.


Full time yesterday from post office Road. And, once again, when it really mattered, Featherstone Rovers came up short Going down  36 points to 26 to the London Broncos. They were huge Favourites coming into this one, and finish the regular season 12 points clear at the top. Having won 25 out of 27 games. including  beating the Broncos 90 points to 16 on aggregate over the two seasons encounters. 

 Broncos raced into a 12 nil lead with  two converted tries. But featherstone instantly hit back due to some substitutions to draw level. But the crucial moment came at the start of the second half when featherstone had a man sin binned for 10 minutes. Broncos took full advantage by scoring for converted tries to establish a 36 points to 12 lead. Featherstone scored three late tries to give the score, some semblance  of respectability, but it was too little too late. And there are now  worries for the future of the club with an  expensively assembled squad set to break up following yet another near miss. broncos  will play toulouze, victors over bradford bulls on saturday night,  in next week’s £1  million  super league. Winner takes all promotion play-off.
