Im going to say Loughborough to finally make it up to the prem, and probably Essex to replace Brighton in the south.

Leeds Mets results seem to say they may be the favourites. Havent seen them play. Have seen Loughborough against Trent (2nd in conference) and they rolled them over with only 11 men. Lufbra as a team are Very fit and can run all day. They also have a whole team who can handle the ball pretty well including the poles. Should be a good game

[LPierce]

Having been on both the receiving end of Leeds Met and the chance to play with some of them at Easter 8s I would expect them to waltz over any team put against them. No disrespect meant to Loughborough here but I'd put Leeds Met for promotion any day of the week.

From what ive heard about leeds met, you just need to take their good players out of the game. I reckon the Loughborough D can do that, my moneys on them to get promotion

Both teams would do well in the Prem.

Trent have been beaten by both Loughborough and Met this year- The team had a discussion about who we thought would win and it was fairly evenly split.

I hope Loughborough win but I think Met will just clinch it.

Hmmm, that would work if you were talking about 1 or 2 players. Leeds Met have at least 6 very good attacking players.

Oh I had heard that they just had 2 or 3 good players my bad, I reckon met will win. It would be good if both of them could be promoted, as both are good enough to play in the top league.

Totally agree that its a shame that one of them will miss out.
I don't know an awful lot about Loughborough so I wont make any predictions but will go as far as to say that Leeds Met deserve a spot in the Premier after their total domination this season.

just change the league structure to get them all up

[dannyecko]

After St. Andrews dropped out the Prem this season you would have thought they'd have restructured it so both teams go up...

[Kyri]

Obviously going to back Leeds Met to win, looking forward to the games though should be some good to play in.
Ill try and get a video done of highlights so people can see how it turned out, the videos will go on this channel:

Played both, honestly can't call it. On paper Leeds met, but loughboro are alot bigger and if they keep their heads and put the goals away, i think they can take the win. Would love to watch it, will be a v good game

[VinceGrimes]

Congrats to Essex Uni for going doing so well in only their 3rd official year as a program. PROGRESS!

Weather conditions in Leeds this afternoon are horrific.
Can't see the play-off game this afternoon being particularly good.

[lbinding]

Plymouth 11 - 7 Essex.

Played in torrential rain. Really good spirited game, clean and great fun. Looking forward to the second leg May 6th!

[young_trig]

Leeds met 8-9 loughborough

[Sour37]

Leeds met 8-9 loughborough

Yes boys!! That is a brilliant win

[kael101]

Is it being played on Aggregate or win over two? I.E if Leeds Met win next week will it be extra time or....?

[Rotisserie]

Leeds met 8-9 loughborough

Looks like it's every bit as close as everyone was predicting. Makes things very interesting for the second leg.
