Preview of the fixtures in Divisions 2, 6 & 8 scheduled for Tuesday 28 January


The Division 2 table above is as at prior to the rearranged matches for Monday 27 January and therefore could be very different to how things really stand. However I would be very surprised if the top two have switched positions at all. Both teams seem set on promotion and the only outstanding question is which of them will claim the title?



Division 6
It really is crunch time at the top and bottom of the Division 6 table this Tuesday when all the teams line up for a rearranged set of fixtures. The top 4 teams play each other as do the bottom 4 so a pivotal day in the Division 6 season.
It doesn't really matter to the leaders Almondbury BC B as they have already claimed the title and cannot be overtaken. However who goes up with them is still in the melting pot. Mirfield A are the favourites and currently sit in 2nd place with a 10-points lead over Brockholes B who have to play the Champions this Tuesday. The Mirfield team will be keen to settle matters this week when they play Springfield C as to leave it until the last day of the season when they take on Almondbury BC B would not be advisable.
At the other end of the table the bottom two teams go up against each other. Defeat for New Mill C would mean that they would be relegated whereas it would offer an escape route for their opponents from Netherton Con B. Outlane are safe but could drop their Tuesday opponents, Huddersfield Recreation Club, right into the relegation mire.


Division 8
Golcar C&BC need 4 points from their final two fixtures to clinch the Division 8 Champions title when they meet Linthwaite Hall B. It would be a major surprise if they didn't confirm that outcome on Tuesday. An 8-0 win for Holmfirth over Broad Oak B would see them claim the runners-up position and the promotion that goes with it.
With the top four teams playing a bottom four opponent then everything points to no change in the running order if results go to form. That would leave one week of the season left to resolve any outstanding issues. Almost there.
