Salem vs Wetherby - No idea what you're getting with Salem. Could win this by 50 or could lose by 10. I am going to go with Wetherby to get over the line here. Wetherby -7.

Cleckheaton vs Wath Upon Dearne - Wath close yet again! I think they'll win this one if they bring a strong team up. Wath -7.

Moortown vs Malton - League leaders should win this one. And they will. Moortown +7.

Morley vs Dinnington - Morley still not firing, maybe the coaching staff are finding it hard to keep player morale happy with their embarrassment of riches to choose from. Morley +7.

Old Brodleians vs Selby - Bump in the road or reality check? I think Old Brodleians will have too much at home here albeit a very impressive win for Selby last week. Old Brodleians -7.

Pocklington vs Pontefract - Pocklington getting into their groove and should dispatch this travelling Pontefract team. Pocklington +7 but they'll have to work for it.

[10AtHeart]

Salem vs Wetherby - Salem very hit or miss recently - Weth -7
Cleckheaton vs Wath - Wath to grind out a tough win on the road - Wath -7
Moortown vs Malton - Moortown have too much for a struggling Malton away from home - Town +7
Morley vs Dinnington - Morley to get back to winning ways but not by many - Morley -7
Old Brodleians vs Selby - MOTD for me. Brods to use the hill, they won't lose many at home - Brods -7
Pocklington vs Pontefract - Ponte looked a good side and grinded out a win against an unbeaten Brods side. Upset of the week - Ponte -7

[YorkshirePudding]

Salem vs Wetherby - Agree with the above on Salem. But I think they will be too big and strong for a struggling Wetherby.

Cleckheaton vs Wath Upon Dearne - Big game, you need to beat the teams around you to stay in the division. I think Cleck will start to kick on now and will win this narrowly.

Moortown vs Malton - Malton will see this as a bit of a free hit, if town are firing it could be a cricket score.

Morley vs Dinnington - Morley are not yet the side they think they are, they concede a lot of points and its defence that wins you titles. However, I do think they will overturn Dinnington this week. Morley +7

Old Brodleians vs Selby - This will be a good game, if the weather holds up Selby will really fancy it. However will always back Brods at home. Brods +7

Pocklington vs Pontefract - Pocks pitch will do them a big favour here, but if Ponte turn up its anyones game. Will back the home side to pull away in the last 20. Pock +7

Bradford Salem v Wetherby – Close game with home advantage just the decider, Salem win but with Wetherby getting a bonus point.

Cleckheaton v Wath – Cleckheaton to win a close forward slog.

Moortown v M&N – Moortown bonus point win.

Morley v Dinnington – Morley bonus point win.

Old Brods v Selby – MOTD for me, home advantage and the hill of doom to give Brods a win.

Pocklington v Pontefract – Can make a case for both sides and think the result will depend on who is up for the game on the day. Sitting on the fence and going of a draw.

[Oldproplad]

Bradford Salem v Wetherby – this a tough one but I think Salem might just have enough - Home win

Cleckheaton v Wath – I think cleck will struggle against a wath team - Away Win

Moortown v M&N – Moortown convincingly - Home win

Morley v Dinnington – Dinnington to cause an upset - Away Win

Old Brods v Selby – MOTD - Home win

Pocklington v Pontefract – Away win

[6/7]

Salem vs Wetherby - Cash boys to win

Cleckheaton vs Wath - Cleck at home to pick another Win up

Moortown vs Malton - Town win 5 points

Morley vs Dinnington - Morley win  5 points

Old Brodleians vs Selby- Brods win on the slope- It would not surprise me if they don't loose at home this season

Pocklington vs Pontefract- MOTD- Pock to win at home

what a great league Regional 2 North East is- The festive period could really shape the league table. Morley will be top at the end of the season.

Not sure about Brods or Town.

Morley
Pock
Brods- Selby- Town.

[PocknRoll]

Salem v Wetherby - Got to echo OL' Blue Eyes' observation of no idea what your getting with Salem, I think of they're anywhere near full strength, then they've got the beating of Wetherby - Salem win.

Cleck v Wath - Interesting one to try and call this, Wath were very good last week, big ball carriers in the pack and the backs looked dangerous and well marshalled by their impressive 10, Cleck seem to have got themselves going with back to back narrow wins and they showed great resilience to keep Pock honest the other week. Gut feeling says Wath win.

Moortown v Malton - Can only see a Town win here.

Morley v Dinno - Morley win and another acerbic match report on their website. "when the ref finally got there" etc...

Brods v Selby - Another difficult one to call, home advantage to see Brods take the spoils.

Pock v Ponte - Should be a belter this, both teams have the beating of anyone in the league on their day, as always a Pock win for me.

Agree with 6/7, great league this year.

Salem +7
Wath -7
Moortown +7
Dinno -7
Brods +7
Ponte -7

[ponte animal]

Salem v Wetherby - Should be a Salem win with BP's.

Cleck v Wath - Away wins hard to get so will side with Cleck, just.

Moortown v Malton - Malton looking doomed so should be a straight forward home win.

Morley v Dinno - Another closeish home win.

Brods v Selby - Having watched both recently, fancy Selby, but home advantage to count, draw

Pock v Ponte - Ponte better at home but injury issues seem to have eased. Pock just, but whoever loses to take home 2 BP's

[old style prop]

Salem v Wetherby - backing our lads as normal wetherby win

Cleck v Wath - Cleck to claim some needed points in a close win

Moortown v Malton - Hard to see past a moortown win here.

Morley v Dinno - Think Morley will have to much for dinno.

Brods v Selby - Have to back brods at home

Pock v Ponte - Pocklington win

[Bettyswollocks]

Just the one surprise result yesterday with the singular away win. I really thought Cleckheaton were going to be better, especially at home. Wath finally on the right side of a close result.

The league table is starting to take shape roughly how we expected. However I didn't see Moortown top and Cleck so low. Both promoted sides performing well.

Impressive wins for Pock and Morley. Salem back firing with a convincing win over Wetherby. Looks like Brods win over Selby was a cracker and lived up to the MOTD predictions.

A much deserved week off before another long run of fixtures up to Christmas. Malton, Cleck & Wetherby need to improve their home form if they want to stay in this league. At the top end of the table I don't think anyone is going to run away with it and there will be a really exciting title race.

[FlankSinatra]

Impressive win for Wath - always tough on the road to win.

[Gerintoem]

A long but entertaining first block of fixtures - Moortown will be very happy siting top of the pile, they do have Brods, Morley, and Pock to play twice so a tough run up to Xmas for them. The bottom 4 are slightly adrift but still relatively early days. I imagine there will be a great finish at the bottom and top of this league. Pock/Morley top 2 and Malton/Wetherby bottom 2 if I was a betting man but could all change.

[6/7]

Another Saturday and set of games have flown by- Cleck loosing at home is a surprise, they will need to pick their home form up of it could be back to back Relegation's on the cards.

The Brods Selby game was a real cracker. The game had to move pitch due a serious neck injury to the Selby player. I do hope it is not as serious as it first looked.

Brods looked real sharp first half, the bigger pack of Selby managed to dig in Second half and made a real contest. If only they had a kicker they would have lot more points on the board each week.

Town  at the top with brods but i cannot see that lasting as they have all of the topside of the div  teams left to play. 

Morley grounding out results

Good win for Pock at home


i am sure for many it is well needed break, chance to get some players rested and recovered.

The Brods Selby game was a real cracker. The game had to move pitch due a serious neck injury to the Selby player. I do hope it is not as serious as it first looked.

Brods looked real sharp first half, the bigger pack of Selby managed to dig in Second half and made a real contest. If only they had a kicker they would have lot more points on the board each week.

With the Crocs game being off, we had a venture up the hill to Brods for a change of scenery. I also echo the wishes that the injury isn't as bad as it seems to the young lad at Selby.

6/7 has got it pretty much spot on. Brods looked a very will drilled side like they always seem to be. It also helped them having their hooker back after injury.

Selby however seemed to have a couple of very weak spots. As 6/7 mentioned, I'm pretty confident a paraplegic would have found touch from more penalties on Saturday. Also as soon as Brods put a high kick up, the Selby back 3 seemed to panic, resulting in at least 1 try from memory. Which is also similar to the story from the game at Broomfield last year.

The game really changed when they moved pitch and Selby were attacking down the ski slope. Fair result in the end.
