If proof were needed that global warming has not yet reached North Shields, last nights game in Artic conditions, could provide the answers. Some supporters at least, braved the conditions for the first half before retreating to the warmth of the clubhouse.

If it aint over 'til the fat lady sings, she must be practicing her scales in the wings, as relegation looms following defeat at the hands of Sheffield Tigers. Although the conditions were dry and the surface good for running rugby, the gale force wind was always going to cause problems for both sides, and it was Park who faced the elements in the first half.

A spirited performance by Park

Driffield 32 - 6 Percy Park

Percy Park gave Driffield a shock, and it wasn't until injury time that the Kellythorpe side put the game out of reach.

Percy Park made the journey to Driffield hoping to continue the form which saw recent victories against Durham City and Whitley Bay Rockcliff. There were two enforced changes to the side with Michael Langlands coming in at blind side for Greg Dixon who decided to take a last minute holiday (in the rugby season!), and David Griffiths moved to fullback for the holidaying Liam Casey.

Percy Park travelled to Rockcliff and emphasised the difference in league status with a comprehensive 10 try victory.

This was always going to be a difficult derby match for the hosts playing their rugby in Durham and Northumberland II and the vistors Percy Park two leagues higher in North 2 East. Their task was not made any easier by the unavailability of their Irish contingent, and Park being able to field an almost full strength side.
