An extended Xmas break for most so hopefully a full round of fixtures to go at this weekend.
Dinnington v Beverley
Goole v West Leeds
Harrogate Pythons v Old Rishworthian
Hullensians v Leodiensian
Keighley v Yarnbury
Wath Upon Dearne v Wensleydale
Happy new year everyone and thanks Gaters for kicking off. Weather permitting:
Dinno v Y2 contenders: Can't see anything other than home glory and more misery for Beavers. Dinno +7
Goonies v Westies: Mid table, mid season, middle of nowhere. Think Westies might just want it more. WL -7
Slytherin v Old and not so Rich: Pythons flying high in terms of league and cup success so far. Think league success will continue here, Pythons +7
Ensians v erm... Ensians: Battle for survival for the West Ensians and credibility for the East Ensians. Suspect the "seasiders" will come out on top. 'Ull +7
Woff v Wotsits: Still with a clear line of sight to winners medals, the more successful Dearne Valley outfit will prevail. Woff +7
Keefleh v Planespotters: Bragging rights for whose magic carpet it more frost resistant than the others aside, I can't see Yarno throwing the game like Pythons did, so Keefleh -7
Where's Dr Ruck these days? Could do with a bit more entertaining banter. :)
Dinnington +7
Goole -7
Pythons +7
Hullensians -7
Keighley -7
Wath +7
Going to cross fingers and assume a full slate of fixtures:
Dinnington v Beverley - not a game you'd expect Beverley to be targeting to pull themselves away from the bottom and Dinnington will march on here. Dinnington +7
Goole v West Leeds - two times that love to attack so can see a high scoring game with try BP's for both. Backing the home team though. Goole -7
Harrogate Pythons v Old Rishworthian - a team we always seem to save our worst rugby for so going to be really important to start well and get our heads up here. Rish haven't travelled too well and our home form has been good so backing us here. Pythons +7
Hullensians v Leodiensian - Ensians coming off a run of difficult fixtures but have still been racking up decent scores on occasion so think they'll be sticking yet another nail in Leos coffin. Hullensians +7
Keighley v Yarnbury - if Keighley play like they did in the last 30 against us for 80 minutes against Yarnbury then they should have too much for them. They are more vulnerable at home than they used to be though so think Yarnbury will push them close. Keighley -7
Wath Upon Dearne v Wensleydale - Be a good contest up front but Wath have too much for Dale over 80 minutes. Wath +7
Pythons v Old Rish - postponed. Pitch like concrete at the moment.
Ensians v Leo's off 😟
All games off except for Keighley v Yarnbury, 2pm kick off.
Keighley 28 - 36 Yarnbury. Great result for Yarnbury.
