All To Play For In The National Conference League

By Robert Haile

Every point counts both scored and win or draw in National Conference League as the league heads towards the final rounds.

The teams will be looking to continue winning or look to pick up a result on Saturday June 11.

In Division Two Crosfield and Woolston Rovers will be hoping Friday night rugby suits them as they face off on June 10 at 7:30pm (19:30).

Then on Saturday top of the table Barrow Island travel to Hunslet Warriors as second placed Heworth host Clock Face Miners.

At the bottom Bradford Dudley Hill host Normanton Knights while Dewsbury Moor Maroons face Wigan St Judes.

East Leeds continued their march to Division Two with a 14-22 win at Shaw Cross Sharks on Thursday June 9.

The rest of the division plays on Saturday with Waterhead Warriors starting early against Drighlington at 1:30pm (13:30) as they look to stay second.

Only two of the four joint third teams are in action as Oldham St Annes head to Batley Boys and Bentley host Leigh East.

At the bottom Eastmoor Dragons face Millom fresh off a derby victory.

The promotion challenge in Division One is to close to call with winning run able to move someone into the play-offs.

At the top joint leaders Kells travel to Stanningley while the other leader Hull Dockers host Saddleworth Rangers with a slip from either side sending the other clear.

While Oulton Raiders will be hoping both lose when they make the trip to Ince Rose Bridge as they could go top.

A loss for all three would see Wigan St Patricks go joint top if they win at home to Myton Warriors.

The match between Skirlaugh and West Bowling will look to put either side in position to lay claim to a play-off place.

At the bottom a winless Milford host Featherstone Lions.

In the Premier Division it is top versus bottom as league leaders West Hull welcome Egremont Rangers and Hunslet Club Parkside host York Acorn.

Wath Brow Hornets will look to continue their winning run at home to Siddal, Rochdale Mayfield host Leigh Miners Rangers and Pilkington Recs face Thornhill Trojans.
