Title: Town vs Ponte
Post by: Pumba on Feb 05, 2026, 01:48 PM
Only the 1 game this week.

Who will make the trip to north Leeds and have a watch is the question.

After everything on the socials last week Ponte have some big shoes to fill should be interesting to say the least.

I'm going for Ponte by 28. Moortown will bottle it....

With weather warnings issued, could the Alwoodley floodplain come into play again?

As many will hopefully attest to the Far Moss Stadium is usually one of the best tracks around at this level. Regrettably, after a camera investigation a collapsing drain on our neighbouring pitches has caused  a huge water holding. Air injections today and a clear out should help or it's a £000 repair in the spring!

Thankfully we have managed to hire West Park Leeds 4G surface so it's GAME ON with a 14:15 KO for anyone fancying some ruggers on Saturday afternoon. We are sincerely sorry we cannot host Pontefract at Stade De Moss!

Oh...I was only joking. I didn't realise you had problems...

Moortown on a 4G - a win by 40 for them me thinks.

Hope Moortown sort our the drainage problems without too much cost.

Always difficult to predict the results of rearranged game on blank week when player availability can be a big issue. Think Pontefract need the win more than Moortown so if they are at or near full strength just a Ponte win.

Could the local scaffolding company sponsor your drainage work? They must be due back soon to work on your stand extension at Far Moss Stadium...

Rumour has it half of the Ponte team fell off the rowing boat getting into North Leeds today which is unfortunate.

Fair play to the lads getting back into the game in the last 10 mins and fair play to the picture they posted taking the loss on the chin!!
