Yorkshire Rugby

Harrogate Pythons II v Hullensians II

Ilkley III v Richmondshire

Thirsk v Knaresborough

Wensleydale II v Hessle

Whitby v Ripon II

Hopefully we can get a full round of fixtures this week 🤞

Agree, a full round of fixtures will be good, as will everyone being able to field a full and competitive team.

Harrogate Pythons II v Hullensians II: Can't see the snakes being able to wriggle their way out of a thumping. 'Ull +7

Ilkley III v Richmondshire: A bit of mid-table magic on display here. Think Richmond could just do it. 'Shire -7

Thirsk v Knaresborough: Hopefully Thirsk's personnel issues resolved and backup to full strength. Thirsk +7

Wensleydale II v Hessle: Could be a case of who's least worst? 'Dale -7

Whitby v Ripon II: Tough gig for anyone travelling from anywhere in Yorkshire but think Ripon may have enough in the tank to weather the storm. Ripon -7

Hullensians +7
Ilkley -7
Thirsk +7 (HWO)
Wensleydale-7
Whitby +7

Knaresborough are looking good to field a team as it stands (maybe not a front row)

Good to hear

Oaks v Goole. Goole +7

Stocksbridge v Hallamshire. Hallamshire -7

Dinnington v Wath. Could go either way, Din -7

Wheatley v Maltby. Wheatley +7

Wortley v Sheff 3s. Wortley +7

Thornensians v Barton. Barton +7

Barton cried off.

Pythons II v Hullensions II
If Pythons can raise a team and Hull travel strong can only be an away win by 20
Ilkley III v Richmond
Not played Richmond yet but they seem to have very mixed results so going for a home win by 8
Thirsk v Knaresborough
Thirsk were going well before playing number availability stopped them. Where as  Knaresborough have struggled for numbers from the off so a home win by 20+
Wendsleydale II v Hessle
Hessle had good numbers last week and looked a handy side but it's a long way and if they don't travel well then home side may sneak it. Going for a close home win
Whitby v Ripon II
Whitby have some players back this week and Ripon say they are traveling strong so should be a good top of the table match up. Home advantage to take it by 15

Pythons II's have a team out. We are very low on players but the lads who are there will give it everything. Hopefully Hullensians will have some spares so everyone gets some good game time.

That's good news, we have all been in those situations from time to time and you  cannot fault the lads that turn up each week

Whitby going well in 4A

Whitby 18- Ripon II 12
Whitby came out winners in the top of he table clash with Ripon 2s in a bit of a stop,start affair with injuries and referee interventions. Whitby took a 6-0 lead early on the game but Ripon came back strongly and following a yellow card to Whitby they took full advantage with a line-out drive try and then their speedy centre rounded the home defence to go under the sticks to lead 12-6 at the break. By then the game had gone to uncontested scrums as Ripon ran out of front row bodies. Whitby took a strangle hold on possession and territory and put Ripon under constant pressure which lead to a succession of penalties which the home kicker gratefully despatched between the posts with clean striking of the ball. A game played in the right spirit and Whitby just about deserved the points, IMO
