Run In Predictions

[gateprop]

With a free week I thought it would be interesting to see where everyone's thoughts are for the top and bottom places plus the race to the middle.

Top 2
Wath - 85 points - +504
Dinnington - 85 points - +414

Wath - Keighley (A), Leos (H), Old Rish (A)
Dinnington - Old Rish (A), Wensleydale (H), West Leeds (A)

Whoever finishes 2nd is looking good for a promotion as one of the 5 best 2nd place teams at the moment but they will need to win all 3 games to be sure. I'd expect both teams to win their home game comfortably and also beat Old Rish away, though not an easy game. I don't think Dinnington will be able to overtake Wath's points difference so will come down to the Keighley (A) game for Wath and the West Leeds (A) for Dinno. I don't see Keighley having enough to stop the Wath steamroller so think that will be a 5 pointer for Wath leaving them on 100 points and champions. Think Dinnington will pull out 3 wins but could see them dropping a BP finishing on 99, with the PD I don't think it will matter anyway but still a phenomenal effort to get back to back promotions.

Bottom 2
Pythons - played 19, 40 points, -104 PD
Hullensians - 18 - 32 - -302
Beverley - 19 - 31 - -377
Leos - 19 - 8 - -479

Pythons - Hullensians (A), Keighley (H), Leos (A)
Hullensians - Pythons (H), Yarnbury (A), Keighley (A), West Leeds (A)
Beverley - Wensleydale (A), West Leeds (H), Yarnbury (A)
Leos - Goole (H), Wath (A), Pythons (H)

Leos are gone. Pythons result against Yarnbury pulls them clear but the Hullensians v Pythons game next week could pull us straight back into the mix, arguably Pythons with the easiest run in though facing 2 of the bottom 3 and a Keighley side at home that have struggled recently. Hullensians have a very difficult run in and will be massively targetting the Pythons game as a must win as I could see them struggling to pick up more than a couple of bonus points from their other 3 games, I could see them picking up 5/6 points from their last 5 games through BP's even if they lose all 4. That would leave Beverley needing 2 wins out of 3 and I just can't see them doing that unfortunately. I just don't see them getting a result away at Wensleydale or Yarnbury and West Leeds smashed them off the park a few weeks ago, they'll also be chasing a top 3 finish so will be going full throttle. Think we'll see a bottom 2 of Leos (obviously) and Beverley. Beverley will be well placed to regroup and push for a promotion straight back up though, Leos I think need a couple of years to regroup, rebuild and find out how to win again.

3rd to 8th
3. Goole - 18 - 58 - +143
4. West Leeds - 18 - 56 - +132
5. Yarnbury - 18 - 55 - +156
6. Keighley - 19 - 53 - +110
7. Old Rish - 19 - 52 - -107
8. Wensleydale - 19 - 46 - -90

Goole - Leos (A), Old Rish (H), Wensleydale (A), Yarnbury (A)
West Leeds - Yarnbury (H), Beverley (A), Dinnington (H), Hullensians (H)
Yarnbury - West Leeds (A), Hullensians (H), Beverley (A), Goole (H)
Keighley - Wath (H), Pythons (A), Hullensians (H)
Old Rish - Dinnington (H), Goole (A), Wath (H)
Wensleydale - Beverley (H), Dinnington (A), Goole (H)

Personally I think the top half of the table is secured. I'm not sure I see Old Rish picking up any more than BP's from their run in and Dale won't be able to overtake Keighley. A lot will come down to fixtures against each other but I'll predict Goole to take 14 points, West Leeds 16, Yarnbury 14, Keighley 10, Old Rish 3, Wensleydale 10.

Would give a final table for me of:
1. Wath 100 (better PD than Dinno)
2. Dinnington 100
-----------------
3. West Leeds 72 (better PD than Goole)
4. Goole 72
5. Yarnbury 69
6. Keighley 63
7. Wensleydale 56
8. Old Rish 55
9. Pythons 51
10. Hullensians 36
------------------
11. Beverley 35
12. Leos 9

Anyone else want to have a go?!

Haha I don't expect everyone to go into that much detail, not everyone will have been as quiet at work as I was this afternoon! No reason a few can't get involved in a table prediction or have a guess at who will be champions or is going down.

For reference as well these were my pre-season predictions. Had a shocker with some of them!
In any order:
Top 4: Hullensians, Dinnington, Wath, Keighley
Middle 4: Beverley, Pythons, Goole, West Leeds
Bottom 4: Yarnbury, Old Rish, Wensleydale, Leos

If hull lose the pythons game then they're down IMO, I can see Bev picking up more points against Wensleydale and West Leeds then hull do in their last 3 away games
