Yorkshire Shield Round One (27/09/25)

[Locked Out]

Any interest in some predictions for fun, assuming they all go ahead?

Acklam v Beverley
Baildon v Harrogate Pythons
Goole v Hullensians
Ossett v Ripon
Roundhegians v Bridlington
Wath Upon Dearne v Keighley
Wensleydale v Leodiensians

[Locked Out]

Smoggies v Beavers: A real class war here with heightened security in the car park to watch over the visiting Beamers. Noting lack of calibre of D&N sides against Yorkies, going for a solid away win. Bev +7

Bai£don v Pythonssss: Tough one to call this and want to go with home advantage by think Gate might just have too much for them. Pythons -7

Goonies v Dockers: No mugs either side but looks like Ensians are starting the season stronger. 'Ull -7

Wakey wind ups v Rugrats: Always a tough day at the office at Queen's Terrace, but fancy an away win, Rugrats buoyed by last week's cup win. Ripon -7

Snoozers v Fishermen: No home advantage here and Brid will want to bounce back after last week. Brid +7

Salad dodgers v Keefleh: Nowhere to hide on the postage stamp and the big heavies to stifle any thoughts of an expansive game. Woff -7

Cheesies v Skiers: battle of the bottom feeders, but everything going for a home win - terrain, weather, crowd. Dale +7

Acklam v Beverley - HWO

Baildon v Harrogate Pythons - never an easy fixture away at Baildon. Been a while since we played them so not really sure what to expect. Always back yourselves though. Pythons +7

Goole v Hullensians - if both sides were at full strength I'd probably back Hullensians here. I just have a feeling that Goole might be more up for the cup though. Goole -7

Ossett v Ripon - Ossett at home are always strong but Ripon have loved a cup run recently. Going for home advantage in a high scoring game. Ossett -7

Roundhegians v Bridlington - if Bridlington travel at full strength I think they would take the win but I think the league might be their priority so backing a home win. Roundhegians +7

Wath Upon Dearne v Keighley - should be a cracker. I can't see Wath losing many, if any, at home this season though. Wath +7

Wensleydale v Leodiensians - Dale at home will be too strong for Leos. Dale +7
