Yorkshire Rugby

With no fixtures this week I'm going with what I think the league will look like at the end of the 25th April. Remaining fixtures and how many points I think they might get.

Wheatley Hills - Barnsley Away 5, Phoenix Home 5, WPL A 4

Corinthians - Skipton A 4, Hemsworth H 5, Hornsea A 5

WPL - Castleford H 5, W Hills H 1

Hemsworth - Hornsea H 5, Corinthians A 1, Burley H 5

Rotherham Phoenix - W Hills A 0, Barnsley H 5

Barnsley - W hills H 0, Hornsea A 1, Phoenix A 0

Skipton - Corinthians H 1, Burley A 5,
Castleford H 4

Burley - Thorne H 5, Skipton H 2, Hemsworth A 1

Hornsea - Hemsworth A 0, Barnsley H 5, Corinthians H 1

Castleford - WPL A 0, Thorne 4, Skipton A 0

Thorne - Burley A 0, Castleford A 1

So if my predictions are right then the table will be

Wheatley Hills 91
Corinthians 83
WPL 66
Hemsworth 62
Phoenix 55
Skipton 47
Burley 42
Barnsley 38
Hornsea 31
Castleford 27
Thorne 12


What happens in Yorkshire 1 can still affect the bottom of Yorkshire 3. There is 19 Counties 1 leagues nationally and the winners go up in to regional 2 and then it's the 5 best 2nd placed teams that also go up, currently Dinnington are one of the best 5 2nd placed teams so it's 2 up from Yorkshire 1, BUT there is definitely 2 team coming down from R2NE in to Yorkshire 1 Doncaster Phoenix and one other (TBC), so if only one team goes up from Yorkshire 1 3 teams will need to be relegated to make room for the 2 teams relegated from R2NE then its has a knock on affect in Y2 and Y3. So as things stand it's ONLY Thorne that will get Relegated but Castleford and Hornsea aren't fully out the relegation battle just yet,  as long as Dinnington and Wath Upon Dearne keep winning they should be ok but they'll both want to avoid that 10th place regardless.

Hopefully that is Understandable 😂

Clear as mud Grassy, but thanks for trying as always!

Mr Grass man,
             you seem to have overlooked one minute detail. As we have had a fraudulent vote imposed on us with "allegedly" 36 teams (Bollocks until proven to be true imo) voting to put their second XVs into the leagues. They will have to be accommodated somewhere, and with the stealth with which it has been done. I believe only two teams can be put into Counties 1 down, to enlarge the leagues to 14. This being true you may have say Sheffield Tigers semi pros playing in Yorkshire 4 South along with Harrogate, Ilkley etc. Please don`t say you weren`t warned. Its a F++++++ shambles.

Again Flaggy, you are making statements that you have no facts to back up. Sheffield Tigers may not want to enter their 2s in the leagues.

If they do they will be put in a league that is assessed as their standard. Last season Scunthorpe 2s played in the Yorkshire Premiership, they applied to enter the league structure in the Midlands, they were placed in  Midlands Counties 2 North  East. They have had a reasonable season currently sitting 4th.

The competition committee I am sure will not be putting all 2xvs that apply in  Counties 4.
The reason clubs will apply to put their 2xv in the leagues is to try to get competitive rugby for the players.

I still have had no data saying the involvement of lower xvs in the league will be detrimental, it's working elsewhere.
