Some "do or die" fixtures this coming week and can the top three remain unbeaten? Can't see any of them losing to be honest.
Bradford & Bingley v Halifax Vandals
Bramley Phoenix v Halifax
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Old Otliensians
Ripon v Northallerton
Roundhegians v Ossett
Bridlington v Baildon
Broke & Busted v Hooligans: The wheels at Wagon Lane will keep rolling along and a formulaic home win. B&B +7
Bad Apples v Filofax: Home advantage seems to be working in a quieter than of recent years LS13, but the BPs probably got enough for a winning BP. Bramley +7
Laundromats v Ouzos: If the speedsters can keep away from the juggernauts, could be a simple day at the office for the visitors. )) +7
Rugrats v Old Farmers: The original "Old Firm" of Y2 before the Halifaxes got involved, will see a typical agricultural slug fest. Ripon to rise above the driving maul morass and bag a few more tries for a win in a while. Ripon +7
Snoozers v Wakey Wind ups: No need for Hegians to open more than one eye here. Home speed and youth will do a decent job. Hegians +7
Fishermen's Friends v Ca$h Cow$: Could be match of the day and a low scoring battle with Brid facing perhaps their stiffest opposition yet. Baildon -7
Bradford & Bingley v Halifax Vandals: B&B to maintain 100% record +7
Bramley Phoenix v Halifax: Home advantage here so BP +7

Bradford & Bingley v Halifax Vandals - The talent is there, the consistency hasn't been. If the Vandals that lost to Brid 21-0 in the first half of last week shows up we lose.

Sorry Locked only just seen this.
Yes, I was at the game (🤦🏻) but had to leave at final whistle. Will catch up with you next time.
Locked out hope your player got to hospital ok , never nice to see , speedy recovery from everyone at Northallerton
Sorry I missed you Shiney and thanks Basto. A really nasty freak injury with a fractured neck of femur and dislocated hip joint. The sort of thing you'd expect an old codger of my age to get from falling out of a chair, rather than a fit 30 year old making his 1st XV comeback after a lengthy lay off with other injuries. "Lucky Dom".
He had temporary stabilisation surgery at Harrogate yesterday and is now in Leeds for fracture fixing. Suspect this may be the end of the line for his comebacks? The Ripon Rugby community will wrap its arms around him and help him recover.
Of the game, the score line suggests a one-sided affair, which it very much was not. Always a bother at scrum time, North pushed the Ripon pack to their limits and their close order support play took some stopping. Ripon just edged with pace out wide and sustaining momentum. A good defensive display by the hosts kept the clean sheet just - with at least three line crossings held up?
The new man in the middle had a good game I thought - penalties pretty even and a good communicator.
Looking forward to the rematch at Brompton Lodge.
