What were the scores?

Bradford Dudley Hill 58 - 10 Wyke
Farnley Falcons 12 - 46 Wibsey Warriors
Queensbury 20 - 6 Odsal Sedburgh
West Bowling 66 - 8 Crosfields

Odsal were supposed to play Greetland but Greetland gave up the game.
Queeny should have played Kirkburton but Kirkburton rearranged so Queeny played Odsal instead.

Most amateur games are cancelled due to the weather. I’ll look see if any are still on.

Think West Bowling vs. York Knights will be on.

This weekendSaturday 18th March

Wibsey Warriors vs. Queensbury
Moldgreen vs. Odsal Sedburgh
Farnley Falcons vs. Bradford Dudley Hill
Illingworth vs. Wyke
West Bowling vs. Clock Face Miners

Saturday 18th March - Result

Wibsey Warriors 24 - 16 Queensbury
Farnley Falcons 6 - 18 Bradford Dudley Hill
Moldgreen 26 - 10 Odsal Sedburgh
West Bowling 48 - 18 Clock Face Miners

Illingworth vs Wyke cancelled due to Wyke dropping out of the league. Mixed bag of results for the Bradford sides but good wins for Wibsey and Hill who both go 2 from 2.

What's going on at Wyke?

According to one of their players, the coach Cam Scott (Hull FC player) left to take over at Queensbury. So a few players followed him over there. Mixed with the 58-10 loss in the opener against Hill probably knocked the confidence of the remaining players. But Hill are expected (and probably will) post points on some teams.

Saturday 25th March

Odsal Sedburgh vs. Wibsey Warriors
Bradford Dudley Hill vs. Greetland All Rounders
Queensbury vs. Illingworth

Skirlaugh vs. West Bowling


All Bradford teams are local bar West Bowling. So hopefully plenty of options for everyone. Please try get down and support your local amateur clubs! Should be some good games there. Followed by a local derby on Sunday, Cougars vs. Bulls so plenty of Rugby League in the BD postcode!!

Spoke to one of their players who said they've dropped down a league in order to be more competitive. Didn't reckon much to the coach who apparently picks people who don't train at the expense of those that do. The joys of the community game!

Shame that because even with the loss of players I still don’t think they would have finished bottom. If they had a slightly easier game than Hill then things might have been different. Always was going to be tough going there first game of the season after they’ve dropped from NCL 2 to YML Div 2 and retained a fair few players. They’d have been up for it and wanted to put a stamp on the league/something to prove. With Wyke coming up from Div 3 (not through promotion) it was always going to be hard.

Gutted for them because there’s 4 Bradford teams there so Wyke might have made a bit more money staying in this league.

Tough one is that. Many lads at amateur level work late or away. So can’t always make training. I do agree people who turn up should be rewarded but sometimes that’s not always the best for the team especially if it weakens the side.

Forgot to mention

Wyke vs Seacroft

In Yorkshire Men’s Div 3 today.

Results:

Odsal Sedburgh 0 - 50 Wibsey Warriors
