points and bragging rights o

The Summer Bash, which is the Championships answer to Super Leagues Magic Weekend, kicks off this weekend and promises some mouth-watering action. Wholesale Avalanche Jerseys . This years Summer Bash boasts the strongest possible round of fixtures in the Kingstone Press Championship, headlined by Saturdays massive clash between Bradford Bulls and Leigh Centurions.However, all the teams have plenty to play for and with points and bragging rights on offer, we take a closer look at the action… Sheffield Eagles vs London Broncos: Sat, 2.30pm, Sky Sports 5 HDWith a well-publicised transition to a full-time playing roster in 2016, many expected Sheffield to really push on in the Championship this season. In reality, the club has gone the opposite way and find themselves sitting outside that all-important Top 4, eight points adrift of fourth-placed Featherstone Rovers.London Broncos, on the other hand, have been a revelation in 2016 and find themselves just three points behind league leaders Leigh Centurions. After a disappointing first season outside the Super League elite in 2015, the Broncos have steadied the ship and have made progress 12 months on, even boasting an unbeaten record at their new Ealing home.London produced the upset of last years Summer Bash – defeating the Eagles 46-6 in arguably their best performance of the season – and with a 56-12 victory at Sheffield in April, will head into this one as favourites. Coming off a strong performance against the Bulls last Friday, and with a couple of extra days rest, could the Eagles get revenge against the side that blew them off the park last year? A feast of live sporting action is on Sky Sports this weekend – dont miss it! Workington Town vs Whitehaven: Sat, 4.30pm, Sky Sports 5 HDThe Championships Cumbrian contingent face off in what is effectively a basement battle as the two clubs linger at the foot of the table after a disappointing season so farThis derby match is rarely dull – and with local bragging rights at stake, expect a fierce encounter. Town have won five of their last six against Haven and with some more positive performances of late will head into the match with improved confidence.Jarrod Sammut could be the difference and with his influence and spark, Workington could grab their third success this season which would halve the deficit behind Whitehaven, who sit directly above in 11th.Bradford Bulls vs Leigh Centurions: Sat, 7pm, Sky Sports 2 HD New Bradford Bulls coach Rohan Smith outlines his ambitions with the club New Bradford coach Rohan Smith takes charge of only his second game since succeeding James Lowes. The Bulls, who currently sit third, face Championship table-toppers Leigh Centurions in Saturdays main event – and if the last four league meetings between these two are anything to go by, there should be plenty of points in this one.Smith will have to make do without Lee Gaskell as Bradfords star man is ruled out through injury – and with their opponents boasting a close to fully fit squad, the Bulls will go in as underdogs.Their most recent meeting in February ended all-square, with the home side completing one of the greatest comebacks in recent history. The Centurions led 32-6 with 15 minutes left – only for Bradford to level with 26 unanswered points. Who can predict what might happen this time round? Leigh points machine Martyn Ridyard looks ahead to the Summer Bash clash with Bradford Dewsbury Rams vs Batley Bulldogs: Sun, 12.30pm, Sky Sports 3 HDThe Heavy Woollen derby kicks off day two of the Summer Bash, as the Bulldogs look to regain their early season form that saw them flying at the top of the Championship. John Kears side inflicted Leighs only defeat so far in the 2016 opener, and drew with Bradford a month later. Sitting just a point behind fourth-placed Featherstone, the Bulldogs will remain quietly confident of maintaining a Top 4 finish.The Rams havent recaptured their impressive 2015 form, and find themselves struggling to make any impact this time round. Its a derby though – and with a 19-12 win in this fixture 12 months ago, dont rule out the Rams getting a repeat result on Sunday.Oldham Roughyeds vs Swinton Lions: Sun, 3pm, Sky Sports 3 – Red ButtonMany predicted that Championship newcomers Oldham and Swinton would be languishing at the bottom of the table in 2016 – but their form over the first half of the season has proved many punters wrong, as both have recorded notable victories already.The Lions five-game winning streak last month featured notable away victories at Halifax and Batley, while the Roughyeds have turned over Featherstone and the Bulldogs – and who could forget that historic Challenge Cup defeat of Super League side Hull KR?Last time out, the Lions went home with the two points after a 28-18 home win – and as both sides will be looking to keep pace with the teams immediately above them in the table, a tight encounter can be expected.Halifax RLFC vs Featherstone Rovers: Sun, 5.10pm, Sky Sports 3 The weekend culminates with two teams desperate for a Top 4 finish, and a chance to make a mark in the Super 8s Qualifiers, as fierce Championship rivals Halifax and Featherstone go head-to-head. Halifax and Featherstone meet in the climax to this weekends Summer Bash. Ian Hardman recalls losing the 2010 Championship Grand Final These two have produced some fiery contests over the years – none more so than in April at the Big Fellas Stadium. A last-minute Steve Tyrer penalty denied a Jordan Lilley-inspired Rovers side two huge points in a game that was always in the balance.Its been described as a four-point game – victory for Rovers would create daylight between themselves and Halifax – but a Fax win could really set the race for the Top 4 alight. With so much at stake here, the 2016 Summer Bash could culminate in a Championship classic.Watch Summer Bash live on Sky Sports this weekend. Or watch the game without a contract for £6.99 on NOW TV.  Colorado Avalanche Store .
