WE have a big week ahead in amateur Rugby League – although, following Rochdale Mayfield’s superb win at Betfred League One side Cornwall in Saturday’s Betfred Challenge Cup second-round tie, other sides may feel that they have a great deal to live up to!
Hearty congratulations are due to Mayfield (I’m writing this before Sunday’s ties, when there could be more shocks) and it will be interesting to see how they fare at Thatto Heath on Saturday, when the Impact Performance National Conference League season starts (although only two of the ten Division Three teams will be in action in that truncated section, which begins fully seven days later).
