10/8/2007

Skirlaugh toppled league leaders St. Patricks from top spot on Saturday and remain the only unbeaten team in the NCL Premier Division.

The Humberside club scored 4 tries to one and last seasons Champions look a good bet to make it back-to-back seasons come the showdown in May. They are second on points difference but have a game in hand this week against Oulton Raiders on Wednesday night.

However, Leigh East went top with a 24-16 defeat of Castleford Panthers, and did it with only 12 men - Liam Rowson getting a red card in the 38th minute for punching.

And it's still tight at the top, with the top five teams separated only by 2 points. East Hull beat Siddal 24-8 at Chevinedge, whilst Leigh Miners lost a tough match at Eastmoor 26-18.

At the bottom West Bowling lost 34-10 to Oulton Raiders whilst West Hulls terrible season continued with a 56-2 thrashing by Rochdale Mayfield.

In the other game Hull Dockers beat Thornhill Trojans 26-24 in a tight match at Tower Grange.

In Division One Bradford Dudley Hill stay top with 5 wins out of 6, but have played one game more than Thatto Heath - the only team to have beaten them this season

And in Division Two Millom and Normanton Knights are still neck and neck with 6 wins apiece - they play each in two weeks time on October 27th.
