Week 11 (Revisited) Predictions & Cup (31/01/26)

[Locked Out]

Three attempted replays this week and a cup game, so worth a few predictions and points.

Counties 2 Yorkshire:
Bramley Phoenix v Bradford & Bingley
Halifax v Baildon
Ossett v Halifax Vandals

RFU Men's Community Cup, Counties 2 Championship Round 3:
Littleborough v Ripon

RFU Men's Community Cup, Counties 2 North Plate Round 3:
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Roundhegians
Northallerton v Westoe

[Locked Out]

BP v B&B: Phoenix in decent form and at home, could just sneak this. BP -7

Fax v Bai£s: Not sure home advantage would even be a factor here. Bai£don +7

Ossies v Hooligans: Same as above, Ossett looking like a lost cause and vandals holding their own. HV +7

Lancashire hot pots v Rugrats: An unknown quantity and Ripon fielding quite a different side from last weekend, but hopeful. Ripon +7

Laundromats v Snoozers: A tasty exchange on the cards here, think home advantage could work. HLH -7

Old Farmers v Westoe: Yorkies tend to get the better of Geordies in these encounters, so going with trend. Northallerton +7

[Crowding the bar]

BP v B&B- will be a cold and wer affair in LS13, Bradford to edge it but not by much. B&B -7

Fax v Baildon- Baildon to do some damage here. Baildon +7

Ossett v HV- Ossett running out of chances to turn around this season as they look destined for the wooden spoon, can't see them starting a resurgence this week. HV +7

Littleborough v Ripon- complete guess for this one, will back the Yorkshire side. Ripon -7

HLH v hegians- game of the week here, will be a close affair and if hegians can build off the drubbing they handed to fax last week they should squeeze a win in Huddersfield. Hegians -7

Northallerton v Westoe- same as Ripon complete guess but should always back the Yorkshire outfit. Northallerton -7

Bramley P v B&B – B&B +7

Halifax v Baildon – Baildon +7
Ossett v Halifax V – Halifax V +7

Littleborough V Ripon – Littleborough +7

Hudd L H v Hegians – Hudd L H +7

Northallerton V Westoe – Westoe -7

Played at Littleborough several times in my playing days in those days the pitch was always very wet hope the drainage has improved. Also played at Westoe they used to be a senior club in the North East never expected them to be in N&D 2.

[Dropped It]

Counties 2 Yorkshire:
Bramley Phoenix v Bradford & Bingley - Bees are beatable but I think too much this week. Bees +7

Halifax v Baildon - If fax have players returning like they say they could cause problems at home. But I think fitness will carry it in the second half. Baildon +7

Ossett v Halifax Vandals - Won 5 in a row and beating the league leaders away until the second half. Lots to be positive about atm. Want to get straight back to winning ways this week. Ossett will target this also. Van +7

RFU Men's Community Cup, Counties 2 Championship Round 3:
Littleborough v Ripon - No idea... home advantage to take it. Borough -7

RFU Men's Community Cup, Counties 2 North Plate Round 3:
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Roundhegians Game of the round of these predictions... I think if hudds use those centres more sensibly than just playing 'get it to the big man and hope something happens' they can get a positive result. Got to stop the Hegians backs though and that's a tough ask. Hudds... Just. -7.

Northallerton v Westoe - No idea again. Never heard of the other team so will back 'allerton. -7
