Pocklington play top of the table North Ribblesdale at Percy Road in Yorkshire Two.

After battling against relegation throughout last season, Ribblesdale have won 20 of their 25 games this term and go into their last match leading the division by one point from Knottingley.

Pocklington still have one rearranged fixture to play at West Park and are still without a dozen members of the first team squad, but three-quarters Dan Pickard, Billy Higgins and Ben Rees all return from injury.

Meanwhile, Pocklington Ladies are looking for new players and are holding a non-contact training session on Saturday at Percy Road between noon and 2pm for anyone interested in getting involved.

Pocklington Ladies official, Tracy Bulmer, said: “This is a call to all girls and women who have ever considered playing rugby. Now is your chance to try it out in a special non-contact taster session.

“There is no obligation to continue to play rugby – just come down, have a run around and see if rugby is for you.

“If you are already an experienced or returning rugby player then this will be an opportunity for you to work on some basic skills and be introduced to the Pocklington Ladies team.”
