The Bradford Bulls defeated the North York Renegades for the South Division Championship in 5 games (4-1). The Bulls knocked off the Northumberland Stars and Durham Roadrunners on route to the South Finals. The Bulls made their third trip in a row to the Division Finals, and were finally able to get over the hump and punch their ticket to the Russell Cup Finals! 

The Bradford Bulls will meet their biggest rival, the Bradford Rattlers for a best-of-seven Russell Cup Finals. This will be the Bulls first time in the Russell Cup since exactly 10yrs ago (2013-2014) when they captured their sole Russell Cup Championship against.... the same Bradford Rattlers.
