Yorkshire Rugby

Penultimate round of league action. Not expecting anything major to happen at the top end this week but could be a big weekend at the bottom end:

Beverley v West Leeds
Dinnington v Wensleydale
Goole v Old Rishworthian
Harrogate Pythons v Keighley
Wath Upon Dearne v Leodiensian
Yarnbury v Hullensians

Bev vs W Leeds - Bev to get the win to take the relegation battle to the final day. Bev -7

Dinno vs Wensleydale - the hosts to get a big win. Dinno +7

Goole vs old Rish - home team. Goole -7

Pythons vs Keighley - narrow away win. Keighley -7

Wath vs Leo's - top vs bottom. Big home win. Wath +70

Yarnbury vs Hullensians - home win. Yarnbury +7

Beverley v West Leeds: Not much of a get out of jail opportunity for the Beavers, but an outside chance. Maybe a win for pride, but can't see a five pointer. Bev -7

Dinnington v Wensleydale: At home, fine weather, all local businesses closing down for the afternoon to get behind the Dinos in their promotion battle, what could go wrong? Dale are no mugs and will fight to the end. But... Dinno -7

Goole v Old Rishworthian: Goonies playing for bragging rights of staying around top 3 and Old Rich looking to secure a top half finish. Could be a bit of a ding dong. But... Goole -7

Harrogate Pythons v Keighley: Not many chances left for Pythons to establish who is the better team and this won't be one of them. Form and league placing suggests Keefleh, so we'll go with them +7

Wath Upon Dearne v Leodiensian: If Leos could throw in the towel at half time, they probably would. Unfortunately will have to endure 80 minutes of torture. Woff +7

Yarnbury v Hullensians: Planespotters will clearly be the better team on this occasion and show it, so should neatly land a five pointer. Yawno +7

The Glove Mans Predictions

Beverley vs West Leeds - A friend has informed me Beverley have their Ladies day this week and will attract a big crowd down to support as they try and push for the great escape. West Leeds are no roll over however but after being flogged at home last week they may be in a bit of disarray. Beverley +7

Dinnington vs Wensleydale - Dale seem to have been on a big downward spiral in recent weeks and have been clutching at straws. Unfortunately for them they get no relief here and i think Dinnington will simply walk over them if they dont get there act together. Dinnington +7

Goole vs Old Rishworthian - Both teams have a bit to fight for with Goole wanting to cement 3rd and Rish fighting to get back to top half. I Think it is between this and Bev vs West Leeds for game of the round. Rish put a good performance in against Dinnington last week and last time these two met Rish came out on top convincingly. However Goole have been strong at home all year, BUT my gloves are tingling for an 'upset'. Rish -7

Harrogate Pythons vs Keighley - Gate with a tough loss to Hull last week will result in one of two outcomes for the posh boys. 1. They come out with a point to prove and a performance to match or 2. They have now rolled over and Keighley will fondle them. Hopefully Gate throw a bit at them at least but i am not full of confidence for them. Keighley +7

Wath Upon Dearne vs Leodiensian - Leos are Shit. Wath to molest them. Burrows for a double hat trick. Wath +70

Yarnbury vs Hullensians - Yarnbury good on carpet, Hull not good. Aviation specialists to use there flash back line to full effect and run in a big score. Yarnbury +7

Summary
Exciting battle at the bottom & hopefully it goes down to the final day.
