MORAL BOOST AT END OF DISAPPOINTING SEASON

David Armitage, the Home team manager writes…

The Huddersfield vs Aire & Wharfe fixture on Friday 23 August saw good wins for both home and away teams. The home side won 24 – 4 and the away side won 16 – 12 giving us 40 points which is the biggest win of the season.

The home side had 7 winners and won the aggregate by 52 whist the away side had 4 winners and won aggregate by 13.

Our previous two results against Bradford and West Riding cost us any chance of a top two spot. The league table at the moment bearing in mind that we have a bye in the next round shows.

  1. West Riding 248
  2. Huddersfield 239
  3. Bradford 232
  4. Leeds 227
  5. Halifax 224
  6. Aire & Wharfe 177
  7. Skipton 167
  8. Castleford 143
  9. Wakefield 135

West Riding will win the trophy with Bradford, Leeds and Halifax chasing second place.

Bradford play Leeds which is likely to be a tight game and a big win for Halifax against bottom club Wakefield could see them leapfrog into second place.
