Rishworthians go into a home game with champions Moortown, knowing that even if they pull off a shock result, their Yorkshire One future will rest with other results. Moortown have been the outstanding team in the division and have only lost two league games in the early weeks of the season at fifth placed Beverley and second placed Heath.

Rishworthians are three points behind Hullensians who have a home game against Selby and must be favourites to stay up. Our team put in a great performance last week to win at Brods and complete a double over our neighbours, but while we have been achieving heroics in the battle to avoid the drop, so too have the teams around us.

For the last game however, against a team we have never beaten, we will have significant absentees in Anthony Shoesmith, Ed Cockroft and Ben Sutcliffe. “We will be doing everything we can to beat Moortown, but if we do go down we will be aiming to start next season with a stronger side than we started this,” said team manager Dan Ingham.
