Whilst at risk of me and Kellythorpe being easier to just send telegrams to each other, I will keep going, might need to start some controversial comments to drag some people out of the woodwork, but let’s see!
Following the first round of fixtures and no massive surprises, I’m looking forward to round 2, and hopefully starting to get a better idea about a few sides
Billingham Vs York
Home advantage will always play its part for Billingham, combined with the fact they will be far to good for York, another big Win for Billingham I think.
Cleckheaton Vs West Bridgford
Don’t know anything about the West Bridgford side, but last weeks results tell me Cleck are going to have far to much for them, specially as they won’t be used to 3 mile walk to the pitch. Cleck Win
Doncaster Phoenix Vs Scunthorpe
Another week that doesn’t tell anyone to much about either of these sides. 2 teams who finish low last season, another battle of the big boys. Phoenix to have to much and get a close win
Driffield vs Sandal
First home game, first time the Kelleythorpe crowd get to see a level 5 league fixture in over a decade. Playing against a Sandal side who are more then use to this level of rugby. I have to go with home advantage and a Driffield win
Heath Vs Paviors
Heath should easily match the Paviors forwards power, Johnson’s victory tour at 10 will certainly be able to pick apart Paviors back 3. Big win for Heath
Ilkley Vs Alnwick
Game of the day for me. Will last years North 1 champs be able to get back to winning ways against an Alnwick team who should be finishing in the top 3 this season? I think the home advantage will be enough for a narrow Ilkley win.
6 home wins for me this week, think Alnwick and Scunny will pick up a couple of bonus points on the road!
