Of the fourteen teams in the UK division two Championship, the top six moved forward into the finals series. Third to sixth were in the quarter finals with the top two having a week off. Fifth (Batley) beat fourth (Barrow) 18-8 and sixth (York) eliminated third (Halifax) 26-24.
In came the second finishing side from the league table (Featherstone) and they were majorly upset by Batley 32-28. Then the top side (Leigh) showed why they were overwhelming favourites in despatching York 70-10.
The final could only go one way but a gutsy effort by Batley kept the scoreline somewhat respectable. Leigh head upstairs to the elite Super league comp with hopes of making the journey a more lasting one than the previous time (one season).
