Driffield travelled to Cleckheaton hoping to reverse their loss at home (by a single point) in October. There were a few changes to the side, with Mewburn and Falkingham unavailable, and Ramsden making his first appearnce since...

It is a long time since Blaydon last visited Kelleythorpe.  On that occasion it was in the old North One league in 2000-01.  Since then they have climbed as far as National One.  Their season has been based around their success at home, only losing to York.  They have...

The Woldsmen travelled to Clifton on Saturday for a top of the table clash with old friends York.  Two notable absentees from the side were Rix and Watts, both injured in last week's clash with Pontefract.  However, benefitting from strength in depth, Ryan Murray...

Since a couple of hiccups in October, the Woldsmen had gone on a five-match unbeaten run.  This saw them established in third position in the table and, with Harrogate coming unstuck at home against Ilkley last time out, have narrowed the gap to second place.  With a...

On paper, you would think this would be a straightforward job, given both teams' relative table positions.  But Driffield had to work hard to eke out a 30 - 20 win at Kelleythorpe earlier in the season.  Also, no games can be taken for granted in this league....
