The game is difficult to call but home<br />
advantage may just sway it the Warriors’ way.<br />
In the other semi final, Swindon St George’s<br />
second team were to travel to Bristol Sonics<br />
looking to complete a double for the club<br />
and reach the final. However, the Sonics<br />
have had a miserable season, the highlight<br />
of which was a 38-34 win over Bath RL in<br />
a Wednesday night thriller. Otherwise, their<br />
points have come from the failings of others,<br />
particularly the South Coast port sides, and<br />
without the prospect of matches, it is hardly<br />
surprising that their players have drifted<br />
away meaning that they are unable to take<br />
their place in the last four.<br />
players and the teams fought out a typically<br />
tough and uncompromising game that<br />
brought back memories of the rivalry the<br />
clubs enjoyed in the mid-Noughties.<br />
Bath have been the archetypal Curate’s<br />
Egg this season mixing big wins, 58-8 over<br />
Southampton with heavy losses like the 72-4<br />
defeat against Portsmouth that came the<br />
following week.<br />
