Bridlington vs Goole - Bridlington are fighting for their lives and unfortunately I can see an incoming dagger here from Goole. Goole will be able to play some more free flowing rubgy and I full expect them to go and win here comfortably. Goole 5 point win.

Dronfield vs Old Crossleyans -Dronfield here should run away with this. Old Crossleyans may be in a dog fight but potentially Yorkshire 1 would suit them better so wonder if their hearts are in it.

Glossop vs Rochdale - Will the game be on? Either way, Rochdale 5 point win. I hope Glossop can raise a team though, never nice to see clubs unable to raise numbers. Good luck Glossop.

Malton and Norton vs Morley - I think Malton will win this and push towards the top 3 and cement top 4. Malton 5 point win.

Moortown vs Old Brodleians - Moortown scoring points and Brods are on a bit of a decline. Seems like they are away every week at the moment, with their heads down this could be a tricky fixture. Moortown to win and gather 5 points in the process but Brods to secure a bonus point of some form.

Selby vs Scarborough - A recent bit of form for BRB's army wont be enough to trouble us here. I firmly believe if we win this then I would say that the league is ours. I don't say this in an arrogant way, just by looking at the run in I can't see us dropping points and thought I would offer my honest view. 5 point win and some grins with one hand on the league.

Bridlington v Goole – League positions says Goole but a wet and windy day at Dukes Park will make it a battle with Brid just winning.

Dronfield v Old Crocs – Dronfield to win a close game.

Glossop v Rochdale – Rochdale by Plenty.

M&N v Morley – Close game but just a M&N win.

Moortown v Old Brods – Been to the dentist in Leeds this week and the dentist tipped Moortown. As he had a drill in my mouth at the time not going to disagree.

Selby v Scarborough – Selby bonus point win.

Brid vs Goole - think this could be a cracker. Backing Goole to win a high scorer.

Dronfield vs Crocs - always seem to be tight affairs and I think crocs will keep this tight. Dronfield to sneak it.

Glossop vs Rochdale - hoping Glossop can bounce back with a hug performance. Rochdale to win but Glossop to steal a point.

Malton vs Morley - Malton at home will have too much. Comfortable win.

Moortown vs Old Brods - Brods to keep pace with Selby and pick up a win.

Selby vs Scabs - this’ll be the upset of the day. Scarborough to steal a win, setting up a cracker between Brods and Selby in a couple of weeks

Well well well.....what can I say 😂😂😂😂

Aged well didn’t it BRB!

One of my old teachers used to quote ‘pride comes before a fall’… I prefer arrogance can make you look a real outside-centre!

Bombardier29 · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

Couldn't make the Selby game but well done to the Scarborough boys. A fantastic away performance.
Shame Goole couldn't do is a favour......

backrowbandit · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

Hard fought victory in the mud. Both sides gave it 100%, it really could have gone either way or indeed a draw looked likely for a while.

On balance I think Scarborough deserved the win based on the desire to avoid relegation being slightly greater than the desire for promotion.

Dark Arts Advocate · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

WOW!
Scarbs again.
What has happened?
This is title winning form other than the shocking bad start to the season.

backrowbandit · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

Just level 6 rugby....doing badly you lose, start to win you win more.

Kellythorpe · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

Went to watch Brid v Goole. I can see why Goole have had such a good season after promotion. Big pack and good scrum half and threes. However, they lost the game in first half, with wind and did not build enough points after dominating territory. Plenty of missed chances, particularly early in the game.
Brid won the game with two great defensive sets near the end to hang on to their slender lead. Try as they might Goole could not get near the Brid line because of great Brid tackling in mid field.
With the result at Selby in mind, it looks as though Brid and Scarborough will stay up. Glossop and Crocs to go down??

old style prop · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

As Hudd LH learned last year in Y1, never assume there will only be two teams going down.

backrowbandit · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

The of teams going down from this league can be from zero to three.

BRB

My understanding that for regional two (formally level 6) its always 2 down, with the zero to three used at level 7 to ensure the league has 12 teams.

Its in the RFU regs, regulation 6 appendix 2, I've pasted the relevant bit below.

But I could be wrong it won't be the first time I'm wrong and you are right.

Might see you on the 23 March as I plan to be in Brid for the Brid Scarborough game.

Cheers

4. Principles of Relegation: At the conclusion of the 23-24 Season the following principles of relegation shall apply

National League 2 to Regional 2 inclusive (formerly Levels 4 to 6): the bottom two (2) Clubs in each League will be relegated,
with Clubs relegated from Regional 2 returning to their respective Constituent Body Counties Leagues, unless otherwise
determined by the ROC and approved by the Committee

This was almost as good as your “Selby by 12” comment when you played Moortown away.

Something tells me you’re very over confident when it comes to playing teams in the bottom half of the league.

Maybe you will predict the last 2 games with caution against Glossop and Brid, I assume you don’t want to be a laughing stock again on the forum.

I’m pleased BRB and his boys have found some wins this year as they deserve to stay up, It’s a great place to go.

backrowbandit · Re: Predictions 2/3/24

6 in a row and beating the top 3 and 5th yet we are still right in the doo doo. A combination of showing what a bad start we had and also how Brid and Old Crocs are fighting just as hard...
