Frozen pitch apparently.

Gaters, thanks for the acknowledgement, Ripon do genuinely endeavour to help out where they can. Fortunately (for some) there is one Drane in the 1st XV squad, unfortunately he's not the chatty one!

Northallerton v ripon off
Frozen pitch , ref was coming from Huddersfield and wanted to know by 11am .

Cheers Bastoigne, understandable.

With three games going ahead, remaining predictions valid.

Is this the second week Baildon haven't fancied it?

Amazing what you can get away with when you've got RFU links with dodgy handshakes and all that.

Ignored an alternate venue last week, I've just read too.

Disappointed with Northallerton's decision to call the game off at 11.00 when their pitch seemed well playable at 11.30. Ripon's pitches were perfectly ok and hardly in a different time zone. Oh well, this leg has to be played at some point.

Dear Mr Locked, as pointed out earlier, the ref wanted to know by 11am, at which point the pitch was still frozen. Admittedly by 2pm it was ok but what else could they have done.
North also had quite a good team available for a change. With cup games to play maybe a mid week night game might be on the cards 🤷

Noted thanks Shiners, will leave replay arrangements to the powers that be as I don't have that level of influence. Not sure Ripon's floodlights are up to match quality though?

Can't see Baildon v Vandals match being on after all this rain. Unless....

Well, there is a very high water table in BD17.
