This week's roundup is relatively short as the Beast from the East laid siege on rugby matches across the UK. However, there was one significant result from the weekend from the only game to survive the cold snap.

Fellow promotion chasers Aspull, made the trip to Preston Grasshoppers to take on their 6ths on the all weather pitch and came up the right side of a 31-26 scoreline. With second placed Blackpool out of action, the win means that the Emus leapfrog them into the promotion spots, albeit with a game in hand and means that it is all to play for this coming Saturday when Blackpool travel to Woodshaw Park.

Bolton 3s and Kirkby Lonsdale were scheduled to meet in the weekends only other clash but this, like many fixtures, fell foul to the adverse weather conditions.
