Otley play Hull Ionians for the first time since January 2015. This match was at Cross Green and Otley won 12-6, Mike Coady leading the way with two tries. Hull Ionians had only been beaten once, in the previous October, by their promotion rivals Ampthill. A similar scenario occurs in this tie, Ionians have only been beaten once this season, by Hinckley – the side we beat last Saturday.

Most pundits have this down as a home win, and while I’s found themselves behind against Sedgley Park last weekend, they recovered in the second-half to clinch their seventh win on the trot. With 20 points in the last four games, Otley will fancy their chances of toppling the leaders in Round 12 to at least secure their fifth position in the league.

Saracens don’t have a game this Saturday, and if you can’t get over to Hull, go down to the clubhouse and enjoy the beer festival.
