Pass me a hammer.......the "pro" is for the final, so any "con" must apply to the semi.....it is the same for both teams tonight hence there is no "con"
Academic now as BPA won
In this league's play offs the advantage is supposed to be given to the team that finishes higher in the league. Rightly, in my view.
As it turned out, it was Kendal who had the advantage of more rest tonight. On Saturday they already knew they were finishing 5th so they rested their players. Bradford, on the other hand, had to put their first team out on Saturday as they still had a slight chance of winning the league.
So bizarrely, their Monday home night game worked against them.
As for saturday, that really makes no difference. Whoever wins tomorrow has a full four days before the next game.
