Veterans League

Review of the Tuesday results from the Veterans 10-Man League Divisions 3,4&5

The last two unbeaten Division 3 100% win records both went west this week, including the Golcar Lib B one as the leaders lost out 7-2 at New Mill A who swap places with their rivals. That scoreline resulted in a 4-points gap opening up for the new leaders. Brockholes A also saw their 100% win record demolished at Slaithwaite with a 6-3 win for the home side. a Some close points totals at the top of this division as Brockholes A found out with a first defeat of the season seeing them tumble down to 5th place.

A 7-2 away win for Linthwaite Hall over bottom-of-the-table Springwood saw them leapfrog both Brockholes A and Lindley Lib B, despite the Lindley team having a 6-3 home win over Paddock I&C; they remain in 4th place. That defeat for the Paddock side saw them slip into the relegation places and be overtaken by Skel Windmill who had a 6-3 home win over Holmfirth A who retain 9th place for now. A 7-2 home win for Thorpe Green over Kirkheaton C&BC A enabled them to swap places with their opponents (6th to 8th and 8th to 6th).

At the end of last season Huddersfield RUBC and Kirkheaton Con B topped the Division 5 table on the same 136 points mark. That joined-at-the-hip feeling has continued into the new Division 4 competition as they remain on the same points mark once again to share top spot. Both teams were playing top-half-of-the-table opponents, both recorded 7-2 home wins, and both have an unchanged 4-point gap over their nearest rivals, Marsh Lib A.

Marsh Lib A continue to hang on to the coat-tails of the leaders after they also had a 7-2 home win, this time over Lockwood Con B, which leaves the losers still in bottom place. Milnsbridge B drop into the second relegation place after a 2-7 away defeat at the hands of Ravensknowle Park.

Huddersfield Recreation Club needed their better aggregate total (127-107) to claim the bonus points and win away at Brockholes B by 5-4. The same 5-4 scoreline saw Marsh United B overcome the visiting David Brown Sports team but the aggregate scoring was much closer at 121-117 to the home team.

A big 8-1 home win for Broad Oak B over Marsh Lib B sees them claim top spot in the Division 5 table after overtaking Netherton Con B who lost 2-7 at Primrose Hill Lib who jump from 9th to 4th as a result. A 6-3 home win for Holmfirth B over close rivals Lindley BC B saw the winners claim the loser's 3rd position. There were also good home wins for Almondbury BC B and Dalton whilst Greenhead Park were the only away winners when beating Kirkheaton C&BC B by 6-3.
