B&B v Brid- Saturdays result for Bridlington did surprise me and could be a real kicker for them going into the final 5, be another tight contest at wagon lane this weekend but I think Brid will just edge it. Brid -7
Fax v OOs- otley to maraud one step closer to the title with a hefty win at Halifax. OO+7
Northallerton v ossett- ossett will just be wanting the nightmare to end and an away game at rejuvenated Northallerton won't decrease the problems. North +7
Ripon v HV- be a good game, competitive and physical with the mallorie park faithful guiding the Ripon boys to a BP win. Ripon +7
Hegians v HLH- hegians just need to keep winning and the next 4 are going to test the roundhay outfit, a victory is needed on Saturday to keep the pressure on otley and make a gap between Brid and themselves. Hegians +7
BP v baildon- could see this going either way, if baildon travel they should have what it takes to get over the line. Baildon -7

Bramley Phoenix v Baildon, glad everyone has gone for Baildon, we will keep our head down and let the Bramley massive help bring the team home with a home win -7
Bradford & Bingley v Bridlington - Brid will be smarting after losing top spot recently. Expect a performance here. Brid -7
Halifax v Old Otliensians - More misery for Fax here. OO's +7
Northallerton v Ossett - Intrigued by this. The boys banned from our game against Ossett should be back by now. And they can turn up if they've a full team to pick from. However Norths performances have improved too by the looks... so I'm going home advantage. North +7
Ripon v Halifax Vandals - As someone said earlier if we have got availability we'll definitely give them a good game. Have a decent track record against the young Ripon boys. Let's see. Van -7
Roundhegians v Huddersfield Laund Hill - Good game this. I think Hegians if the backs are dominant. Hudds if the forwards are... so will lean on home advantage to decide a tight game. Hegians -7
Bramley Phoenix v Baildon - Being honest Phoenix will have to pick their game up a lot from the last showing. They will know that. Defence and missed tackles cost them heavy in the opening 30mins. If they do that they can make a decent fist of it. Baildon fresh off a statement win should be well up for this. Baildon +7

BP v Baildon - tempted with a draw but BP-7
After a spirited start from the Vandals and a creditable half time score of 15 - 7 to Ripon, this looked like a serious test for the Rugrats. Vandals were strong in the set piece and caused some early bother, as well as played continuously for several phases, with great ball retention.
Ripon turned around with the sun, wind and slope and ran in a further seven tries unanswered by Vandals. The score line definitely didn't reflect Vandals' commitment and ambition to attack at every opportunity. Ripon's ability to pounce on and punish mistakes was their strength however and kept them on the front foot.
Looks like Vandals can keep clear of the drop zone and look forward to playing them again next season.
