Yorkshire Rugby

After causing an upset last week taking Alnwicks unbeaten home record, Gate went to Anselmainans and took their unbeaten home record too (40-41).

On to Rossendale next and a return to Marls Pitts

Not sure how many from rowers we'll have left for the game though

Much as I dislike these play-offs, hats off to Harrogate for two outstanding results away from home. If they beat Rossendale away too, they really will have earned the right to be back where they believe they belong. Well done.

Having spent a weekend at Harrogate it was very interesting to hear the views of Harrogate club members regarding a number of things.

Not all is well in paradise!

Betty's raising the price of Fat Rascals again?

Gate do it the hardest way possible and beat Rossendale 21-14 to take a place in Nat 2 next season!

Unbelievable Jeff!

Unbelievable Jeff!

Can't argue against any team winning 3 away games in the playoffs offs deserving to go up!

Congratulations to Harrogate. Three away wins deserve to be promoted. Might be a chance of us at Ribb meeting some of you guys already in exalted company next year as I suppose Kendal will go back West as well as Rossendale. Lets see as we know we cant forsee the RFUs thinking. In a perverse way we might have more travel in terms of miles in NE1 but we could drastically reduce our travel costs by using trains several times and renew some long standing acquaintances which would be great. Lets see and not pre-empt anything.
Good luck to all.

York squeezed past Pocklington at Clifton Park Cricket club today.
Although I'm told it was a lot closer than it need to be as York were denied a number of penalty tries.
A lot of rebuilding to be done for next season, but congrats to the boys and Bassey for getting through a tough season and staying in the league.

You're not denied anything if the Match Officials see it different to the myopic crowd.

A very small myopic crowd by the sounds of it.

Apparently Pock out number York 2 to 1.

Whereas Scarborough outnumbered Pock (at Pock) 3 to 1.

Anyhow bad luck Pock...no doubt you'll be favourites for promotion next year along with Morley.

How have you managed to talk entirely about Ribb on a thread earmarked play offs. That's unbelievable, Jeff!

oh, thanks for the guidance AVS. A bit like paying a lot of rugby league players to play a Yorkshire rugby union club you mean?
