Cleckheaton 2nds   22  Beverley 2nds  7

Unlike the previous week, the side put in a much improved display and were unlucky to lose by such a margin. For the first fifteen minutes Cleckheaton were not in the game as the lively Beverley team pushed and pulled the home defence all around the park. What the side are finding in this league is that they need to be more clinical in finishing moves off.

Small errors began to creep in as the game became more robust and in truth 3 of Cleckheatons 4 tries came from errors by the Beverley side. On many occasions in the past against less organised sides, and playing this way, Beverley would have scored forty or fifty points. As it was their only points came from a try by prop Dave 'the Train' Brant, and conversion by the ever improving Phil Duboulay.

If the side can build on their experiences so far in this league then they have every reason to believe they can look to a comfortable top half finish, in their first season. This week they entertain Bradford & Bingley 2nds in what should prove to be another tough test of the abilities. Its hoped that the side have plenty of support on the sidelines, kick off 2.15pm.
