The Weekend’s Action : 16/17 November 2024
1st XV v. Alnwick (A)
2nd XV v. Alnwick (A)
3rd XV v. Barton (H)
4th XV v. Beverley 2 (H)
Ladies – No Fixture
Colts – No Fixture
The 1st and 2nd XVs make the 320 mile round-trip to Alnwick.
Alnwick have not had the best start to the league season and sit second from bottom in the table with one win and one draw from the opening eight games. They picked up a losing bonus point last weekend away at league leaders Scunthorpe, showing how competitive the league is this season and that Alnwick are no push overs.
The 2nd XV have not had a game since 19 October, due to Sheffield Tigers being unable to field a side, and two weekends without picking up a friendly fixture in the pool. The 2s came away with a victory in this fixture last season, and will no doubt be ready to get back into the league action.
For supporters travelling to Alnwick :
- Kick Off – 14:00
- Address – Alnwick Rugby Football Club, Greensfield, Alnwick, NE66 1BG
- Parking is free
- Gate fee is £5
GAMES AT KELLEYTHORPE
3rd XV vs Barton & District RUFC : Kick Off – 14:15
The 3rd XV sit fifth in the league just one point behind the play-off places. Barton sit in sixth place, but seven points behind the Cents.
4th XV vs Beverley 2s : Kick Off – 14:15
The 4th XV continue to buck the national trend, and demonstrate the health of rugby in Driffield. Playing six games already this season and sitting third in the league. Saturday’s opposition, local rivals Beverley, currently sitting second in the league so a big game for Gareth Culpan’s men.
