PONTEFRACT 15 – 7 PERCY PARK

Despite Percy Park having more possession, and a good supply of first phase ball, it has to be said that Pontefract deserved their win and the important two league points. The aimless kicking that dogged the recent England Italy encounter seems to have become endemic in the game today; and Park were guilty of poor kicking from hand throughout the game which was there to be won. 

PERCY PARK 9 – 9 OLD BRODLEIANS

Percy Park and Old Brods shared the league points in a game where both sides cancelled each other out. The point moves Park up to sixth in North 1 East, but in a league where the bottom team can beat the top team, and the second bottom team beats the third top side away from home, it is clear that any of the clubs from fifth downwards could be drawn into a relegation dogfight come the end of the season. 

Percy Park 31 - 8 Gateshead

Gateshead returned to Percy Park yesterday for the rearranged fixture and this time, after declining the opportunity to play the last one, it was 'Game On'. The pitch was in remarkable condition bearing in mind the amount of snow and rain in the last two weeks, and although Park had made a couple of changes to the pack, they were raring to go to make amends for the earlier defeat at Gateshead.
