Milnsbridge take the lead in Division 6
Winter League
Review of the results in Divisions 6&7 from last Thursday
DIVISION 6 (Huddersfield RUBC) THURSDAY REVIEW
A 6-2 win for Milnsbridge C over Springwood C saw them take over at the top of the Division 6 table as they enjoyed the Netherton sunshine.
Three teams in Division 6 have the complete playing record of Won-1 Drawn-1 Lost-1 after the first three matches of the season. Two of those being the two teams promoted from Division 7 last season, Huddersfield RUFC and Kirkheaton Con B who played each other this week. That proved to be a first win of the season for the Rugby Club and first defeat for the Cons. and also included the biggest Division 6 game win of the day as RUBC bowler Jackie Turnpenny won 21-4.
All four of Thursdays fixtures finished with a 6-2 scoreline as Dalton continued to defy the Forecast Game selection as the favourite to be relegated and instead they stay level top on 16 points with Milnsbridge C. The top two teams prior to Thursdays matches were both beaten with Dalton brushing aside the previous leaders Almondbury BC A who drop to 4th position. Kirkheaton Con B drop from 2nd to 5th position in the table after losing 2-6 to the Rugby Club who moved out of the relegation places but only just.
Milnsbridge C are the new leaders after they beat Springwood C who remain rooted to bottom place with a 6-point gap emerging to the nearest team above them. That is Outlane A who went down to a Hanging Heaton B team claiming their first win of the season. Having said that, they hold one of the two unbeaten records in the Division with Milnsbridge C holding the other one.
DIVISION 7 (Netherton Con) THURSDAY REVIEW
Last week we reported on four 8-0 winners in the Division 7 competition and three of those four winners extended that run by picking up 6-2 victories this week. That leaves the top three teams only separated by a maximum of 4 'Aggregate For' totals with Springwood B hanging on to top spot after seeing off Holmfirth A. Marsh Lib A and Thongsbridge make up the top threesome after beating Hemplow A and Netherton Con B, respectively.
Huddersfield Recreation Club bounced back from last week's 0-8 result to inflict one of the same score on Lockwood Con B who have now lost both of their opening matches without scoring a point. However that only leaves them two points behind the A teams from Holmfirth and Hemplow with a long way to go. It was shirtsleeves weather at Netherton on Thursday as can be seen by some of the photos below.
