We’ll be hoping that our strong home form gives us the momentum to avenge the earlier defeat at Wetherby. After our narrow loss away at league leaders Scarborough, and Wetherby’s recent home defeat to second-placed Pocklington, both sides will be determined to return to winning ways.

Although Wetherby currently sit a couple of places below us in the table, results this season have shown that mid-table clashes can go either way. It is my pleasure to welcome their players, supporters and committee members to Selby RUFC.

On the road, our 2nd XV will be aiming to complete the double over Driffield and get back to winning ways. The 3rd XV host Ripon 2nds and will be keen to make amends for their earlier defeat. The Colts travel to Scarborough in confident mood following their home win earlier in the season.

Our Under 18 Girls are also in high spirits after their recent semi-final victory and travel to Chesterfield tomorrow for the Regional Cup Final, kicking off at 2.00pm. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

I trust that all players and spectators will conduct themselves both on and off the pitch in keeping with the best traditions of Rugby Union, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their time at Sandhill Lane.

Our referees today are Chris Sheryn for the 1st XV and Ian Hilton for the 3rd XV — please respect their decisions.

We remain extremely grateful to all our sponsors for their continued support, and we are pleased to welcome Waingap to the Swan’s Nest today.

We also have our annual Ladies Day Afternoon Tea taking place today. Have a wonderful afternoon and enjoy your rugby at Selby RUFC.

Finally, thank you to Miles Hebden for organising the excellent Mini & Junior 50 Year Legacy Dinner last Friday — a fantastic evening enjoyed by all.

Enjoy your afternoon at Selby RUFC
