[gateprop]

Beverley v Wensleydale - Dale always capable of putting in a performance but it is a long away day so am expecting Beverley to take the points at home. Beverley -7

Dinnington v Old Rishworthian - not going to be an enjoyable day out for Rish with Dinnington's pack to push them around in these conditions. Dinnington +7

Goole v Leodiensian - going to be a very long day for Leos and expect Goole to run up a score at home. Goole +7

Harrogate Pythons v Hullensians - Ensians always a side that cause us problems so fully ignoring the form guide and expecting a tough battle. Always back yourselves though. Pythons +7

Wath Upon Dearne v Keighley - another good battle but Wath will be too strong for most, especially on their mudbath of a pitch. Wath +7

Yarnbury v West Leeds - two relatively well matched sides from what I've seen, if West Leeds travel at full strength they could give Yarnbury a good game. Maybe a slight home advantage though. Yarnbury -7

[Locked Out]

Beverley v Wensleydale: Just going on league standing, Dale +7

Dinnington v Old Rishworthian: Not a nice afternoon for Rish. Dinno +7

Goole v Leodiensian: Goolies to take the spoils in a one sided affair. Goole +7

Harrogate Pythons v Hullensians: Perhaps the most hotly contested match of the day. Go Pythons -7

Wath Upon Dearne v Keighley: Another slug fest with small pitch and wetness advantage. Woff -7

Yarnbury v West Leeds: Aladdin & co to enjoy the day more. Yawno +7

[The Lurker]

Beverley v Wensleydale; close one here but backing the beavers for a home win. Bev -7

Dinnington v Old Rishworthian; Dinno steamrolling into the festive break unbeaten here. Dinno ++7

Goole v Leodiensian; Goolies too strong at home, Leos will want to get this half of the season done and regroup in '26. Goole +7

Harrogate Pythons v Hullensians; Harrogate 3rd XV seem to have found a bit of form and Hullensians seem to be struggling. Python -7

Wath Upon Dearne v Keighley; long trip for Keef and Woff's big lads love a rumble around their boggy little pitch. Wath +7

Yarnbury v West Leeds; expect the plane spotters to have the edge out wide especially at home. Yarn -7

[gateprop]

Beverley 22 - 14 Wensleydale   
Dinnington 62 - 5 Old Rishworthian   
Goole 36 - 3 Leodiensian   
Harrogate Pythons 36 - 17 Hullensians   
Wath Upon Dearne 40 - 0 Keighley   
Yarnbury 30 - 34 West Leeds

All results as expected aside from West Leeds pulling off a Christmas cracker. Any thoughts from the games? I wasn't down at Pythons today but sounded like a dominant performance with a couple of late Ensians tries closing the gap on a comfortable win.
