Hornets' drubbing of Cornwall expunged by RFL
Heywood and Middleton Guardian
|May 08, 2025
THE RFL board have accepted a recommendation from the Executive following Cornwall's withdrawal from Betfred League 1 on April 2.
-
The results of the three fixtures they played - including Rochdale Hornets’ 68-0 victory over them at the Crown Oil Arena in Round 2 - have been expunged.
League 1 has become a 10-team competition, with each club playing the other nine at home and away to produce an 18-round fixture list.
As previously, the team finishing top of the table will receive the League Leaders’ Shield and prize money - although there will be no automatic promotion to the 2026 Betfred Championship, with the top four clubs joining the bottom four from this season’s Championship in a Middle 8s competition.
