Happy new year to all.
Dronfield vs Bridlington - two very physical teams, I think we can expect an attritional battle here. Low scoring game, with not much in it. Dronfield will edge it as they have the superior goalkicker, however if I saw a Brid win I would not be shocked. Dronfield by 4.
Goole vs Old Brodleians - the game of the day. 2nd vs 3rd and a real battle of a cultureless sports facility and a traditional rugby club. From what I have seen of the two vs Selby, I would expect Goole to have a little too much at home, however if Young Brods can muster more heart than they did vs ourselves, they could run away with the win as the superior rugby team. Old Brodleians to win by 2.
Malton and Norton vs Glossop - Malton will have too much here, I am just hoping Glossop can make it to the end of the season. Malton with a textbook 25 point win.
Moortown vs Selby - as mentioned, the underperforming Moortown will be disappointed with their first half of the season. They pushed us close previously, and I think they will again, but we will have too much quality. Dare I say we are a bit of a 'bogey' team for Moortown now after turning them over last year to stop them going up? Selby by 12.
Morley vs Scarborough - BRB, do you have much hope going into this one? Morley to win by 20 for me but do you have any Christmas presents to field? 🧐🧐
Old Crossleyans vs Rochdale - always a tough place to go. Rochdale to win but it won't be comfortable. Rochdale by 8.
