Yorkshire Rugby

A few tasty match ups this week with some more high scoring games on the way I reckon

Harrogate Pythons v Bridlington
Hullensians v West Leeds
Keighley v Goole
Old Crossleyans v Old Rishworthian
Old Otliensians v Yarnbury 
Wensleydale v Doncaster Phoenix

Harrogate Pythons v Bridlington - I think Brid will be too much up front here.  Brid -7

Hullensians v West Leeds - If West Leeds travel - West Leeds -7

Keighley v Goole - Goole +7

Old Crossleyans v Old Rishworthian   Crocs +7

Old Otliensians v Yarnbury  OO +7

Wensleydale v Doncaster Phoenix - Wensleydale +7 (by a country mile)

Good Luck all.

Harrogate Pythons v Bridlington: Nothing against the seasiders, just think Pythons could do a turn at home. Pythons -7
Hullensians v West Leeds: Judging by 'Ensians 2nd team result, they could be a dominant force. Ull -7
Keighley v Goole: Goolies ones to watch this season and will fare well on the magic carpet. Goole +7
Old Crossleyans v Old Rishworthian: Rich mercenaries still getting to know each other. Crocs -7
Old Otliensians v Yarnbury: A tasty backs battle on here. Got to go with home advantage. OOs +7
Wensleydale v Doncaster Phoenix: Don't see any rising from the ashes here, with horizontal rain and pitch undulations like speed bumps on acid. Dale +7

Harrogate Pythons v Bridlington - Pythons -7
Hullensians v West Leeds West Leeds -7
Keighley v Goole Goole + 7
Old Crossleyans v Old Rishworthian Rish +7
Old Otliensians v Yarnbury Ensians -7
Wensleydale v Doncaster Phoenix Dale +7

Pythons v Brid - The away team to just edge it. Brid -7

Hullensians v West Leeds - another long season for the Hull boys. West Leeds +7

Keighley v Goole - Away win just. Goole -7

Old Cross v Rish - home team to win the derby just. Old cross -7

OO's v Yarnbury - home advantage. OO's -7

Harrogate Pythons v Bridlington - Brid +7
Hullensians v West Leeds - West Leeds +7
Keighley v Goole - Goole -7
Old Crossleyans v Old Rishworthian - Old Coss +7
Old Otliensians v Yarnbury - Yarnbury +7
Wensleydale v Doncaster Phoenix - Wensleydale +7

Harrogate Pythons v Bridlington - If brid are anything like they used to be, it will only be half a team for the away trips. Mauled by the Pythons. HP +7

Hullensians v West Leeds - Nobody wants to go to Hull. Ensians -7

Keighley v Goole - Don't know much about Keighley, not sure I want to. Draw

Crocs v Ri$h - 4/5 years since the last derby. Nothing to change from last time. Crocs +7

Otliensians v Yarnbury - I can confirm the OO winger is quick. However apart from that, I wasn't impressed by them last week. More a case of Crocs playing poorly. Yarnbury +7


Wensleydale v Doncaster Phoenix - Yawn. Wendy +50

Harrogate  v Sea Eagles - 39 all.

Hullensians v West Leeds - I dont think either team will be challenge for top spot. Hull Just

Keighley v Goole - Goole will be used to playing on sandpaper so no advantage for keith. Can't decide who wins but everyone loses.

Old Crossleyans v Old Ri$hworthian - Warra fixture should be a big crowd and a crocs Win.

Old Otliensians v Yarnbury - GOTD contender OO dont seem to know how to lose. Will be close.

Wensleydale v Doncaster Phoenix - Donny to draft some knights players after a poor result and win by loads.

Sounds a little sour grapes.

4 Seasons ago, we were in Yorkshire 4 and you were in NE2
We have pretty much the same team and it was our first game in Yorkshire 1.

We were no way near our best against you either.. you also got 1 pen try and a try when we had a player with a head injury and the ref didn't stop the game. Although I am not blaming the ref, there is only so much he can see. That was with like 15 to go. Without them two tries -  look how much different teams would be looking at the score.

Good Luck with the season and be humble in Victory and Gracious in defeat as you will certainly take a few this year.

Don't need a medal mate. The winners pint was enough.

There wont be sour grapes with us. It seems like the arrogance of Crocs spoken about on this forum is certainly coming to light.

Best of Luck Cocadoodle
