Five fixtures rescheduled from 10th January, weather permitting:
Baildon v Halifax Vandals
Bradford & Bingley v Northallerton
Bramley Phoenix v Old Otliensians
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Ossett
Roundhegians v Ripon
Ca$h Cow$ v Hooligans: Will the pitch be playable or won't it? Will there be the right or wrong kind of rain - you know the sort that stays on mountain tops? If it goes ahead, presume the Baildon Bad Boy Chiller Crew will have benefitted from another week in the gym. Bai£don +7
Broke & Busted v Old Farmers: Despite a recent resurgence and hiding from Ripon, can't see North getting much out of this other than a good hiding. B&B +7
Big Apples v OO's: Don't think even the "Warrels Massive" will goad the visitors into making enough mistakes to give their hosts a sniff. OO's +7
Laundry v Wakey Wind ups: Think Ossett have pretty much wound up their season already and won't fair very well against this powerful Hudds lot. HLH +7
Snoozers v Rugrats: Ripon have technically beaten Hegians twice this season already if you count the warm up game in August? With an emerging reputation for upsetting league leaders, this could be three on the trot. A close run thing but Ripon -7

Ripon were kicking themselves yesterday after a strong start and a modest half time lead, then fell foul of a livelier Hegians side in the final quarter. Honours were pretty even all game and Ripon's reconstructed backline with four players out of position, competed well to shut down the home back three early on.
Injuries and indiscipline, including a yellow card let Ripon down in the second half and the Hegians pace out wide showed eventually. The score line perhaps flattered the hosts somewhat as both sides were keen to play everything from anywhere and when the score levelled at 17 - 17 at the end of the third quarter, it still looked like it could go any way. Fair play to Hegians for more clinical finishing in the end. Ripon will take some comfort from the try bonus point to keep ambitions alive for a top half finish.
BTW Shiners was right - no Fijians this week! ;)
