This Saturday’s Impact Performance NCL Division One Play-Off Final between Heworth ARLFC and Oulton Raiders will be streamed live from Elmpark Way on Our League at 2.30pm.
With league leaders West Bowling and runner-up Egremont Rangers automatically promoted to the impact performance NCL Premier Division, the clash between the sides that finished the regular season in third and fifth place respectively will decide who takes the remaining promotion slot.
Five years ago Heworth were competing in the Yorkshire Men’s League, but a win on Saturday will see them reach the pinnacle of the community game. The Villagers booked their place in Saturday’s final with a stunning 34-0 victory over Skirlaugh.
Oulton Raiders celebrated their sixtieth anniversary last year and can boast England’s record try scorer Ryan Hall and Kelvin Skerrett among their illustrious alumni, yet have never reached the play-off finals. An outstanding 28-12 win at Stanningley leaves them too just one game away from the Premier Division rugby next season.
The NCL invested in regular Our League streaming for the first time in 2022, culminating in a captivating Premier Division Grand Final that saw Hunslet Club Parkside lift the trophy after beating West Hull.
