Great to be back after 3 weeks off so might as well continue with predictions for tomorrow:

Cleckheaton v Alnwick
Feeling this will be a close game. Cleck usually quite strong at home and Alnwick the form team in the comp - Close Away win.

Heath v Selby
Heath have had a couple of great wins on the road recently at Scunthorpe & Cleck and Selby have also picked up a couple of wins recently. Can't see past Heath here though - BP Home win.

Ilkley v Scunthorpe
Ilkley quite inconsistent this season but can upset the better teams when they turn up. Scunthorpe have faulted recently when before Christmas you'd have said they pretty much had the leave sewn up but not anymore. Going for close away win.

Percy Park v Sandal
Percy Park now find themselves in the relegation zone but will be hoping for a home win here to drag themselves out of it. Sandal seem to have lost that early season form and think they might struggle again here - Close home win.

Middlesbrough v York (YC Semi Final)
I know this isn't a RNE1 game but thought I would add a prediction for this as York are in the league. Can't see York losing this so I expect them to progress through to the final. I believe the winner of this plays the winner of Bradford Salem and Cleckheaton which is to be played on Sat 15th March. I feel a York V Cleckheaton final would be quite entertaining for the neutrals but I'm sure the teams from the leagues below will try and have something to say about that!
