[Locked Out]

Pirates v Sheep Sha**ers: Can't see past home advantage being the deciding factor, apart from it being a long way to go for the farmers/mercenaries. Ionians +7

Leeds Lions v Leeds erm...: Leos on a big roll and expect a mighty roar at this match. Can't see Corinthians making a dent here. Leos +7

James Martin's friends and family get a bye this week.

Old Farmers v Beavers: Despite a recent resurgence in form from North, Beavers to put in a "dam fine" performance. Bev +7

Rugrats v Hooray Henrys: Bragging rights at stake for who has the best grammar school but don't expect any playground antics as the Rugrats are on a roll. Having trick or treat sweeties, the kids will now be looking for a proper firework display. Ripon +7

Woldies v Dalesies: Bragging rights as to who's got the hilliest hills at stake here in this mid-table mash. Two speedy, young sets of backs should enjoy the runaround. Driff -7

B
Tiggers v Hooligans: Neither side impressing so far and the Orcs faring less favourably away from Mount Doom. Maybe the Tiggers will find their bounce at home? Tigers -7

South Yorkshire Salad Dodgers v Bad Apples: Can't wait to see what Lozza and the Bees crew have to say about this one? Reckon BP will out-scally Woff a treat. Phoenix +7

Beverley Hills of Bradford v South Yorkshire Plains Drifters: The rarified atmosphere of mini-mount doom will be enough to stifle the no-hills visitors. Baildon +7

Best behaved supporters in Bradford v Laundromats: Despite the significant online support presence for the "resurgent Bees", the proof of the pudding is in what you do on the pitch. HLH +7

Snoozers v Heathens: Don't think the balcony boo boys will make their support heard over the bone crunching on the pitch from the visitors' front row. Heath -7

Steelers v Slippers: Champions elect to turn in another text book national league performance at the expense of Sandal's best efforts. Sheff +7

B

Vandals +7 - Played well last week and winning 14-12 going into the last 5 mins where a tackle was missed and let Hegians in. Then a penalty lost us a bonus point. Need to take points when offered as 4 penalties in-front of sticks and we scrummed. Time to start winning those last minutes and putting games to bed. Starts this week.

Bramley -7
Hills -7
HLH -7
Heath -7
Sheffield +7
