I trust that all players and spectators will conduct themselves in and around the pitch in a manner befitting the best traditions of Rugby Union, ensuring that all games played at Sandhill Lane can be enjoyed by everyone.

With the benefit of home advantage, we hope to build momentum this afternoon as we welcome Pocklington in the return fixture. The visitors currently sit second in the table, and Selby will be keen to avenge the narrow one-point defeat suffered earlier in the season. It is my pleasure to welcome all their players, supporters and committee members to the club.

Elsewhere, the Second XV face a stern test as they travel to Pocklington, looking to extend an outstanding run of 14 consecutive victories. The Third XV host Leeds Corinthians on the adjacent pitch in what promises to be a closely fought contest.

Tomorrow sees the Colts travel to West Park, while the Ladies make the short trip to face Malton & Norton. The Under 18 girls have no fixture this weekend, and the Under 16 girls face a challenging match against Dinnington/Sheffield Tigers.

As always, we are extremely grateful to all of our sponsors for their continued and valued support.

Our referee for today’s First XV fixture is David Downham from the [society], with Roger Stocker officiating the Third XV match. Please respect the decisions of both officials throughout the afternoon.

Enjoy your time at Selby RUFC and have a great afternoon.

Hon President
