03 Aug PENULTIMATE ROUND

Friday 11 August at 1.00 pm is the start for Huddersfield’s final push for the 2023 title versus Bradford. We’ll be trying to bolster our narrow 6 point lead over West Riding and the new kids on the block Leeds ahead of the final match on 1 September versus Halifax. A defeat against Bradford will almost certainly scupper our chances of regaining the trophy from West Riding who have the easier final day fixture. A narrow victory might not be sufficient either, it is literally a case of every point counts with 56 points at stake over the home and away fixtures.

The teams and venue are:

Away ar Pudsey Littlemoor: T POULTER, R STOPFORD, P HOPKINSON, T BUTTERFIELD, EDWIN HAIGH, M GILBERT (C), G SENIOR, D HEWITT. Reserves D Pollard, J Burnett. Manager Alan Sharpe.

Home at Marsh United: A BAMFORTH, J BLOOMER, M COX, R DICKINSON, S HAIGH, G SIGSWORTH, R WHITWAM, A WIKE. Reserves B Gibson, E Haigh, P Kain. Non playing captain F. Greenwood. Manager David Armitage.
