I thought that we could use this thread to discuss the amateur teams in and around Bradford (or local in general), to give people information and a choice of matches to go to on a Saturday should they wish to do so and in general just support the local amateur teams.

This Saturday sees NCL side Bradford Dudley Hill travel to Cumbria to take on Million in the Second Round of the 2018 Challenge Cup. Should BDH be victorious they have an opportunity to draw a League 1 side in the next round, hopefully the Bulls.

The Pennine League also shows that Clayton have a game at home against Oulton Raiders in Division 2. Queensbury have got a match in the BARLA National Cup Last 16 at home I think against Haydock. Whilst Wyke are at home to Moorends Thorne in a Pennine District Cup.

Wibsey were due to play Birkinshaw in the Bradford Cup however Birkinshaw have had to pull out due to not being able to raise a team. Therefore Wibsey will now play Odsal Sedbergh in a friendly.

10th February:

Millom vs. Bradford Dudley Hill (Challenge Cup, 1:30pm KO)
Clayton vs. Oulton Raiders
Queensbury vs. Haydock
Wyke vs. Moorends Thorne
Wibsey Warriors vs. Odsal Sedbergh (2:00pm KO)

If I am wrong on any of these fixtures please let me know so I can correct them.

Great idea. I'd go to these games if I knew KO times and venues in advance.

I'm assuming all KO times are 2pm on Saturday unless stated otherwise.

I know there is a lot of excitement at Sedge about their game with Wibsey. Unfortunately I can’t make it as I have the second day of my level 1 coaching badge.

Is this their first game back since they folded last season?

I believe it’s their first game. Whilst I’m more involved with the juniors than open age, suggests that they folded are news to me.

I know Victoria Rangers folded completley but i could have sworn the Odsal Sedberg side folded towards the end of the season but are back for this year.

It appears I had the wrong team my apologies!

Was also told Sedge had folded last season.

Best of luck to all local sides, especially BDH in Challenge Cup, get through, get a tie vs Bulls, have a good day and get paid.
Queeny get through to semis of National cup.

Wibsey vs Sedgh, dont care. Played with both sides.

I_Pitty_Stevo, areyou clubman of the year @ Wibsey?

Honestly could swear I heard Odsal had folded too

Knew I wasn't going mad!

Ah just seen this sticky. I think a few have gone to Sedge from Bowling as far as I am aware. Saturday was not a good day for us but onwards and upwards. How did you get on against sedge JJ

Aye they seemed to have got a few players in. Kyle Carter played 7 for them and Shaq was at 9. We drew 4-4 in what was horrible conditions as you can imagine haha. Took a few quick taps where I could to try gain some ground or a penalty but when the pitch is as muddy as it was you don't get too far

Sedge were horrible in the ruck with elbows etc. And tried to cause a couple of fights but our lads seemed to rise above all that, even Kenny gave praise for that haha! How did you guys play? I know you lost like but Milliom is tough. Was it a case of they were decent?

For those that don't know:

Milliom 24-12 Bradford Dudley Hill
Wibsey Warriors 4-4 Odsal Sedbergh
Queensbury 0-22 Haydock

Not sure how Wyke or Clayton got on if they had games?

Yeah they like a bit of rough up there haha. Did Palmer play? Kenny said you have a few keen young lads seems to have improved up there after a couple of years after the likes of Robbo and them left.

Millom pack was decent as always but they lacked in attack. If Ryan hadn't been sent off I reckon after pulling back to 18-12 we were in a position to win. Damo played prop for the first time and did well in his second spell. Young Callum Wilkins had a good dig off the bench. Batey his usual self but at 13 he gives some horrible defence out!

No mate wasn't available for selection last week. Aye they've come on loads mate, got the basis of a good solid team if we can stick together.

Their pack has always been handy, even when we went up there a few years back. Nightmare, what did he get sent off for and who were your halves and hooker and fullback? Aye Damo's a big unit, should go well in the pack. Haha Batey in the line never made sense unless he's out wide in the centres or wing. Should have stuck to fullback really.

He dropped someone off, cant remember who it was but our lad with the ball was tackled yet someone hit ryan and dumped him on his head so he swung one at him! He was playing 6 with Sewelly at 7 as T was working. Dave Halley at full back. Dave moved to halves after ryan went off and tried his best to create some stuff but they kept us out. Batey is a master stroke at 13 his defence is unbelieveable and unforgiving ha

Jesus. Nightmare that. Not like Ryan to start swinging unless he's developed a mean streak! How did you get T to come back haha, I know he left before I played open age like. Ah, that makes sense then if you have Dave at FB. Batey's always had a good defence though, his last man tackling was awesome!

AMATEUR RUGBY - Saturday 17th February - All are 2:30pm KO's.

[iPennine League[/i

Wyke vs. Wortley Dragons
Birkenshaw Blue Dogs vs. Woodhouse Warriors

[iPennine League Cups[/i

Eastmoor Dragons vs. Clayton


Wibsey Warriors do not have a match this weekend. Unsure about Odsal Sedbergh or Bradford Dudley Hill.

I know a few lads that play for Wortley. Are Wyke any good?

Played in Division 5 YML last season, finished second.

No idea what league of division they're playing in this season.

Could have a team in either or both YML and Pennine League.

Penning League used to be a good league.

No game for us mate

YML hasn't been sorted yet. Still waiting to find out what league we will be in haha. And aye they play Pennine during winter and YML in Summer.

Sorry there hasn't been any updates recently! However now that the weather is slightly better games will be on this weekend I would assume. As it stands these are the local teams fixtures this week:

Saturday 10th March 2018:

[iBradford Cup Semi Finals[/i

Clayton vs. Wibsey Warriors (2:00 KO)
Queensbury vs. Wyke

[iNCL Division 1[/i

Milford Marlins vs. Bradford Dudley Hill

[iNCL Division 2[/i

West Bowling vs. Wigan St Judes

[iYorkshire Men's 40/20 Cup[/i

Queensbury vs. Nottingham Outlaws
Wyke vs. Crigglestone All Blacks

ALL KICK OFF's ARE ASSUMED TO BE 2:30pm.

Wibsey were supposed to have a 40/20 cup match but the Clayton game in the Bradford Cup was rearranged from last week (due to weather) to this week. Not sure if the same has applied for Queensbury and Wyke so I've included their 40/20 Cup fixtures just in case.

All good ties.

Clayton vs. Wibsey Warriors now moved to a 2pm kick off.

Is the Clayton match at Lidget Green or the Delph?
