Leeds v Wharfedale latest score 8pm ko

First proper scrap I've seen in years, sneaky digs,. headlocks, forearms, players flying in.  A few would've walked if that had been televised. And then Dale ran it from. 15m, straight into another high shot.

Tel you what, Rob Baldwin has still got it.

Big crowd there, suspect 1500, nearly every one cheering  for the Greens. What a noise when they scored.

Last 20 were a damp squib as the team of 3 slowed everything to a crawl, probably be to let folks calm down.

Tykes defence and. retention skills were terrific. Dale a couple short short of being a very good side. 

Tykes, despite everyone else thinking they should be in Yorkshire 5, play at the speed of level 4 sides, their ball retention and defence is superb, but if your pack go out full of fire and energy, with the intention of destroying their pack, and you don't miss tackles or touch, then you might do it.

Dale had the best scrum half in the North (Gaudie)at 10,  young Riddiough at 9, who will become a great scrum half, but last night with Gaudie at 9 and a top 10 with a good kicking game, it would have been far, far closer. Far too many errors to make it closer. Tykes v Roth will be huge

Agreed, will Roth be fit enough up front. Some big bits of kit in their pack.

Ionians, judging by the score line at least, had a resounding win against Dale, so will clearly be a tough nut to crack, particularly on their own ground.
