Games for the Saturday 24th
Barnsley vs Skipton - two mid table teams that won't challenge the top but should have enough to be safe from the drop. If Skipton go full strength I think they might just edge it. Skipton -7
Castleford vs Burley - The home team need a win to keep a gap between themselves and the bottom 2, If they can field a side I think they'll just edge it. Castleford -7
Dearne Valley vs Leeds Corinthians - Tough place to go even though the hosts are bottom but I think the away side will just have enough. Corinthians -7
Rotherham Phoenix vs Thornensians - the hosts will want to bounce back after their defeat away last week and I think it will be a comfortable win for them. Phoenix +7
WPL vs Hornsea - WPL to keep their promotion chances alive with a routine win. WPL +7
Wheatley Hills vs Hemsworth - the league leaders to keep marching on towards Yorkshire 2. Hills +7
Good luck all 🏉🏉
Barnsley vs Skipton - Skipton still shakey on the road despite their home form, but still think they nick this one. Skipton -7.
Castleford vs Burley - Suspect the students may be back in time to make this one a contest. Burley -7
Dearne Valley vs Leeds Corinthians - The last game of a painful gauntlet for Dearne Valley. WPL, Hemsworth and now Corinthians in successive weeks. Another BP win for their opposiiton. LC +7.
Rotherham Phoenix vs Thornensians - An immediate return to form for Phoenix, who should dispatch Thorne comfortably. RP +7.
WPL vs Hornsea - Hornsea still winless on the road, and likely to remain that way for another week at least by my reckoning. WPL +7.
Wheatley Hills vs Hemsworth - GOTW. Hills are clinical at the moment. If they go unbeaten for the rest of the year, the miracle of that Thorne win will surely haunt them. Hemsworth to get some respectable points on the board, but another week, another win for Hills. WH +7.
Barnsley vs Skipton - Skipton are a great test at home, if they can take some of that home form away, this should be a good win for Skipton. -7 Skipton
Castleford vs Burley - Depends on what team both have available, Students should be back for Burley, but I think Cas will just edge it with home advantage. -7 Cas
Dearne Valley vs Leeds Corinthians - Rugby League season is coming, its now or never for Dearne. Corinthians will be looking to keep pressure on Hills at the top, but i think it will be a close game for 60 minutes, then Corinthians to keep the pace. Corinthians +7
Rotherham Phoenix vs Thornensians - Phoenix haven't lost at home yet, easy win. Rotherham +7
WPL vs Hornsea - WPL need to keep winning with a few signings over the line to push for that 2nd or top spot. WPL +7
Wheatley Hills vs Hemsworth - GOTW - Hemsworth are a gritty team, will be a fiercely competitive battle, but Hills to win & keep marching towards Yorkshire 2. - Hills +7
Barnsley vs Skipton - Skipton +7
Castleford vs Burley - Cas -7
DV vs LC - Leeds +7
RP vs Thorne - Rotherham +7
WPL vs Hornsea - WPL +7
WH vs Hemsworth - Wheatley +7

No real shocks really, Hills keeping marching on, will their next defeat be in Y2 ? Cas got a much needed win at home to the students, Thorne and Dearne are running out of games to get much needed points.
