Leicester - lovely racing track, graet viewing
Powderhall - saw some great matches there, very friedly home fans

Newcastle v Hackney 52-38
Hackney v Newcastle 46-44
Newcastle v Exeter 54-35
Exeter v Newcastle 49-40
Arena Essex v Glasgow 46-44
Glasgow v Arena Essex 46-44
And the replay: Arena 60 Glasgow 30 and Glasgow 50 Arena 40
