Yorkshire Rugby

Thank f**k for the league and back to normality next weekend. Come on ladies and gentlemen and anything else that anyone identifies with, let the competition hot up!

Halifax v Ripon
Halifax Vandals v Roundhegians
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Bridlington
Old Otliensians v Northallerton
Ossett v Bramley Phoenix
Baildon v Bradford & Bingley

If ever there was a week for some banana skins to provide some slippage, this is it. Will any of the top three lose a game this weekend?

Filofax v Rugrats: An unknown quantity for Ripon, so got to back the youngsters to keep their cool, play their game and finish in front. Ripon +7

Hooligans v Snoozers: Mount Doom always a tricky place to get a result and think the Orcs might just get one here. Vandals -7

Laundromats v Fishermen's' Friends: A long, long way to go and maybe a way too far to keep up their title pretentions for the seasiders. If there's a place to upset the applecart, it's here. HLH -7

Ouzos v Old Farmers: At home, it would only take a flooding of the pitches to slow OO's to North's level and not forecast, so OO's +7

Wakey Wind Ups v Bad Apples: Whatever happens, this will be a gritty affair with no quarter asked or given. Despite Ossett's lowly position, the fight back, could start here? Bossett -7

Ca$h Cow$ v Broke & Busted: Battle of the big envelopes and hope the B's Beamers and Mercs are hidden away safely? Like a couple of other games today, Baildon a particularly difficult place to go and get a result. Going with home advantage - Bai£don -7

Halifax v Ripon - Ripon +7
Halifax Vandals v Roundhegians - Roundhegians -7
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Bridlington - Bridlington +7
Old Otliensians v Northallerton - OO +7
Ossett v Bramley Phoenix Ossett -7
Baildon v Bradford & Bingley - Baildon -7

Halifax v Ripon – Ripon +7

Halifax V v Hegians – Hegians +7

Hudd L H v Brid – Hudd L H -7

Old O v Northallerton – Old O +7

Ossett v Bramley P – Bramley P +7

Baildon v B&B – B&B +7

Halifax vs Ripon.  Ripon +7

Vandals vs Roundhegians. Vandals -7

HLH vs Brid. Game of the week imo. The start of 3 tough games for the visitors but I think they'll just have enough this week  Brid -7

OO's vs Northallerton. OO's all day. OO's +7

Ossett vs Bramley. Going for Ossett's first win of the season. Ossett -7

Baildon vs B&B. B&B -7

Halifax v Ripon - Ripon +7
Halifax Vandals v Roundhegians - Vandals +7
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Bridlington - HLH -7
Old Otliensians v Northallerton - OO +7
Ossett v Bramley Phoenix - Ossett -7
Baildon v Bradford & Bingley - Bees +7

Halifax v Ripon - Fax appear to have many injuries and are struggling, perhaps with the couple of weeks off they will have some more depth, it'll be a tough physical game, which will be close    Ripon -7

Halifax Vandals v Roundhegians - The weather is getting horrible now, a tough place to win so       Vandals +7

Huddersfield Laund Hill v Bridlington - This will really be a decent game, I feel that Brid have their toughest test so far and Huddersfield will turn up all guns blazing     Hudds -7

Old Otliensians v Northallerton  - Big heavy farmers, unfortunately they appear to be struggling, the width of Chaffers fields will make it a tough day for North     OO +7

Ossett v Bramley Phoenix -  Ossett in a cold patch, this might just be the turning point for them    Ossett -7

Baildon v Bradford & Bingley -  Hard to judge, Baildon been handed a bad card with the 10 having his bad injury.. Bee's will take advantage of the recent wet snap and push Baildon round in the scrums and mauls      Bees +7

Good Luck all
