Winter League
A preview of the Division 6 postponed fixtures rescheduled for Tuesday 23 January
The Division 6Â leaders are Linthwaite Hall and they will be guaranteed promotion if they win 8-0 against Kirkheaton Con B in this Tuesday's catch-up session postponed from last Thursday. They have an 18-points lead over the 3rd and 4th placed teams from Cowcliffe B and The Rugby Club who both have only 3 matches left to play. The maximum points total they can accumulate is 82. An 8-0 win for Linthwaite Hall would give them a total of 84 points and a much better Aggregate For total (703-671).
They play second from bottom Kirkheaton Con B who they beat 8-0 earlier in the season and will edge even closer should the Cowcliffe team fail to collect maximum points from their match against Lockwood Con B. The Rugby Club are without a match this week so will be watching events with added interest. Second-placed New Mill C will then be the only threat to stand between Linthwaite Hall and the title but first things first.
New Mill C play Golcar C&BC this week and will be aiming to keep the pressure on the leaders but still have a lot of ground to make up to deny the long-time leaders the title. The remaining fixture this week sees Mirfield B and Broad Oak meeting with the Mirfield side raising their last hope of avoiding relegation by dragging Broad Oak back to within range of a final month assault.
