12th April 2026 Preview

After the Easter Sunday break we return with a mixture of league and cup games across most divisions with some vital games in terms of promotion and relegation and league titles.

DIVISION TWO

HEDON RANGERS A   V  GREAT DRIFFIELD  SOUTH HOLDERNESS COLLEGE, PRESTON- REFEREE PHIL GRIFFIN JEFF SMITH

There is a re-arranged game at South Holderness College as Hedon Rangers A entertain Great Driffield in a bottom two clash. Hedon have suffered back to back defeats against Bottesford Town the latest being a 5-2 loss after being knocked out of the cup by the same opponents. Driffield come into the game after a 6-4 double header win against Springhead but will be looking to avenge a 3-1 home defeat against Hedon on the first day of the season. 

DIVISION THREE CUP SEMI FINAL

BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS A   V  NORTHERN WANDERERS A   GYPSEY ROAD, BRIDLINGTON – REFEREE WAYNE MALLEN

The Division Three Cup semi final between Bridlington Town Rovers A and Northern Wanderers A has been brought forward a week to accommodate other games. Brid who already have the Division Three title in the bag will be looking towards doing the league and cup double. Neither side has played since winning their quarter final ties last month. Brid beat Malt Shovel Selby 4-2 whilst Northern saw off South Cave 2-0. Their two league meetings have produced no fewer than 18 goals between them 6-4 to Brid and 6-2 to Northern so this is a hard one to call.

DIVISION THREE

MALT SHOVEL SELBY  V   SOUTH CAVE   DENNISON ROAD, SELBY- REFEREE ELLIS DOUGLAS

Malt Shovel Selby and South Cave  after both being knocked out of the cup play a re-arranged league game at Dennison Road. Malt Shovel lost 4-2 at Bridlington Town Rovers A and Cave were beaten 2-0 at Northern Wanderers A. When the sides met at South Hunsley way back in September it ended in a 2-2 draw and another tight game is expected on Sunday.

DIVISION FOUR

AFC NORTH   V  BILTON    RWB PLAYING FIELD, CUMBRIAN WAY, NORTH BRANSHOLME- REFEREE ANDREW MCNAUGHT

AFC North welcome Bilton to the RWB looking to consolidate top spot in the table. The home side drew 2-2 with title rivals Brigg Town in their last game whilst Bilton also face Brigg last time out going down 4-1 at the beginning of March. When the sides met at Bilton it finished 7-0 to North and they will be red hot favourites to complete the double.

BLACKBURN LEISURE B  V  BRANDESBURTON    SKILLINGS LANE, BROUGH- REFEREE  JOHN SUTTON

There is a six pointer at Brough as Blackburn Leisure B take on Brandesburton. Both sides were heavily beaten in their cup Quarter Final games. Blackies went down 7-0 at neighbours North Ferriby Sporting whilst Brandesburton lost 8-2 at home to AFC North. This is a important game as a win for either side will end any lingering relegation issues.

BRIGG TOWN   V  NORTH FERRIBY SPORTING   EC SURFACING STADIUM, WARWBY ROAD, BRIGG- REFEREE  PAUL WARREN

Joint leaders Brigg Town host North Ferriby Sporting at the EC Stadium looking to keep pace with AFC North. The home side drew 2-2 with their title rivals two weeks back, Ferriby who are on their best run of the season beat Blackburn Leisure B 7-0 in the cup quarter final and have scored 23 goals in their last three games. The meeting at South Hunsley last November saw Brigg win 5-2. 

GILBERDYKE PHOENIX  V  HOLME ROVERS   INGS VIEW PLAYING FIELD, GILBERDYKE- REFEREE  KEVIN PICK

There is a local derby at Gilberdyke as the Phoenix take on Holme Rovers hoping to keep on the tails of the top two. They have at least two games in hand of their rivals and are only three points behind them but they still have home games against both of them to come. Their problem could be that they have only played twice in 2026. Holme last played in a 7-1 loss against AFC North over a month ago but they did draw 3-3 in the first meeting with Gilberdyke.

DIVISION FIVE

AFC WILLERBY C  V  AAK S+S B    WOLFRETON COLLEGE, WELL LANE, WILLERBY- REFEREE   MALCOLM HIGH

AFC Willerby C face AAK S+S B at Wolfreton College looking to complete the double against the visitors after winning 5-1 at Bishop Burton College last November. Willerby are currently third in the table and need the points to keep the pressure on Molescroft Rangers A who are above them. The home side won 6-0 at Spartans last time out whilst AAK won 1-0 at Northern Wanderers B. 

HESSLE RANGERS   V  SPARTANS    SIRIUS ACADEMY, PICKERING ROAD- REFEREE  PAUL BROOKS

Hessle Rangers entertain Spartans at Tommy More looking to avenge a 2-1 defeat at Hull University back in the Autumn. Hessle beat Gipsyville Bosun in the cup 3-1 in their last game. Spartans have had back to back six goal defeats against AFC Willerby in cup and league games and find themselves second bottom of the table.

MOLESCROFT RANGERS A  V GIPSYVILLE BOSUN   HULL UNIVERSITY, INGLEMIRE LANE- REFEREE  JEFF SMITH PHIL GRIFFIN

Molescroft Rangers A who are on a four game winning run, host Gipsyville Bosun at Hull University as they look to maintain second place in the table. They won 9-2 at Bridlington Town Rovers B last time out whilst Bosun got back to winning ways with a 3-1 home success against Northern Wanderers B. The game at Costello earlier in the season produced a ten goal thriller which Molescroft won 6-4 and another open affair is likely on Sunday.

NORTHERN WANDERERS B  V  DRUM    WINIFRED HOLTBY SCHOOL, MIDMERE AVENUE, BRANSHOLME- REFEREE  NEIL HAMBLY

It is bottom versus top as Northern Wanderers B welcome Drum to Winifred Holtby. Despite having only two points to their name Northern will remember that one of them came after a 2-2 draw with Drum at Costello.  They were beaten 3-1 at Gipsyville Bosun a fortnight back whilst Drum last played early last month when they won by the odd goal in nine at Bridlington Town Rovers B to maintain their unbeaten record.

DIVSION SIX

BARHAM   V  AFC WILLERBY D   ALDERMAN KNEESHAW PARK, BARHAM ROAD- REFEREE  GED STEAD

Barham take on AFC Willerby D at Alderman Kneeshaw Park looking to make it three wins against them this season. They have won twice at Wolfreton College 4-2 in the league and more recently 5-4 in the cup. Since then Barham have drawn 2-2 with Priory and Willerby went down 4-1 at Molecroft Rangers B

LITTLE WEIGHTON  V  TICKTON  WHITE GAP ROAD, LITTLE WEIGHTON- REFEREE   ALLAN COPE

Little Weighton host Tickton at White Gap Road looking to avenge a 7-2 defeat at Beverley Longcroft earlier in the season. The hosts won 6-4 at Priory in the Cup quarter final in their last game. Tickton were beaten 3-0 by Swanland B in their cup game but they still have an outside chance of making second place but that will involve winning their last four games starting on Sunday.

PRIORY  V  EASINGTON UNITED   PRIDE PARK, FIRST LANE, ANLABY- REFEREE  GARY HALLETT

Old rivals Priory and Easington United meet at Pride Park in a six pointer as both sides look to move away from the bottom end of the table. Priory drew 2-2 at Barham in their last game whilst Easington went down 4-2 at home to leaders Swanland B. This should be a good open encounter as the two leakiest defences go head to head.

SWANLAND B   V  HEDON RANGERS B   WEST LEYS ROAD, SWANLAND  – REFEREE GEORG DELA SAGA

Leaders Swanland B need one more win to clinch the Division Six title and they get their first opportunity to do so when they take on Hedon Rangers B at West Leys Road. Swanland won 4-2 at Easington United in their last game whilst Hedon have struggled to field a side of late and they lost 4-1 at home to Molescroft Rangers B in the cup. Swanland won 5-1 at South Holderness in the first meeting between the sides and will be huge favourites to seal the Championship on Sunday.

OVER 50`S CUP QUARTER FINAL

PRESTON UNITED  V  NORTH FERRIBY  MATCH POSTPONED- CONCEDED BY NORTH FERRIBY

OVER 50`S DIVISION WEST

RECKITTS  V  LOUTH    HULL UNIVERSITY- REFEREE  JIMMY DUNFORD

Reckitts and Louth play each other for the second time in two weeks when they meet at Hull University. Louth won the cup encounter in Lincolnshire 6-1 despite Reckitts scoring first. Their earlier league game saw Reckitts win 4-1 at Louth so this game could go either way
