There are fixtures in Divisions 2-6 and a couple of Over 50`s East games this weekend including some re-arranged from last Sunday.

DIVISION TWO

BOTANIC FIRE  V  NEWLAND     HULL UNIVERSITY- REFEREE  ANDREW MCNAUGHT

Botanic Fire go into their home game against Newland knowing a win will see them go top of the table. Botanic beat South Cave 6-1 in their last game whilst Newland drew 4-4 at Hedon Rangers. The sides are amongst the highest scorers in the Division so this should be a good open game.

DIVISION THREE

AFC NORTH  V  HOWDEN    RWB PLAYING FIELD, CUMBRIAN WAY, NORTH BRANSHOLME- REFEREE  KEVIN PICK

AFC North play just their second home game of the season when they welcome Howden to the RWB. The hosts drew 2-2 with Hull Athletic last time out whilst Howden were beaten in a seven goal thriller against Great Driffield B 4-3 a result which sees them rooted to the foot of the table. They face a tough task as North are a difficult proposition on their own pitch.

BRIGG TOWN  V  MALT SHOVEL SELBY   EC SURFACING STADIUM, WRAWBY ROAD, BRIGG-REFEREE ELLIS DOUGLAS  KICK OFF 1.30PM

Top of the table with a 100% record Brigg Town go into their home game against Malt Shovel Selby looking to maintain top spot. The visitors have had a difficult start to the season with just a single win from their first four games. Brigg won 8-0 at AFC Willerby A two weeks ago Malt Shovel lost 4-1 at home to Gilberdyke Phoenix and will need a big improvement if they are to get anything from the game on Sunday.

GILBERDYKE PHOENIX   V  HULL ATHLETIC  INGS VIEW PLAYING FIELD, GILBERDYKE- REFEREE MATT MITCHELL

It is second versus third as Gilberdyke Phoenix host Hull Athletic in a vital game for both sides as they look to keep on the heels of leaders Brigg Town. The home side won 4-1 at Malt Shovel Selby two weeks ago, Hull Athletic who are still unbeaten this season drew 2-2 at home to AFC North last time out. This should be a closely contested game.

GREAT DRIFFIELD B  V  AFC WILLERBY A   CEMETERY LANE, DRIFFIELD- REFEREE NEIL WOODCOCK

Two of the bottom three meet at Cemetery Lane as Great Driffield B entertain AFC Willerby A. The hosts got their first win of the season when they beat Howden 4-3 a fortnight ago, on the same afternoon Willerby were being hammered 8-0 by leaders Brigg Town and they will want to respond to that heavy loss and they are more than capable of doing so.

DIVISION FOUR

BLACKBURN LEISURE B  V  BRANDESBURTON    SKILLINGS LANE, BROUGH- REFEREE  PAUL BROOKS

Two sides who had very contrasting results two weeks ago meet at Brough as Blackburn Leisure B.take on Brandesburton The home side will be looking to bounce back from losing 7-3 at St Peters two weeks ago whilst Brandesburton have had back to back wins the most recent being a 3-2 home win against Drum. The visitors won 6-2 at this ground towards the end last season and they will be confident of winning again.

DRUM   V  MOLESCROFT RANGERS A    COSTELLO PLAYING FIELD- REFEREE TBC

Both Drum and Molescroft Rangers A who were beaten in their last game meet at Costello hoping to get back to winning ways on Sunday. Drum went down by the odd goal in five at Brandesburton whilst Molescroft lost their 100% record in a surprise 5-0 home defeat at the hands of Hessle Rangers. Despite that heavy loss they are still top of the table. 

HESSLE RANGERS  V  NORTH FERRIBY SPORTING   HALTEMPRICE SPORTS CENTRE, GORTON ROAD- REFEREE NEIL HAMBLY

Hessle Rangers will look to build on their impressive 5-0 win at leaders Molescroft Rangers A last time out when they take on North Ferriby Sporting at Haltemprice Sports Centre. The visitors after an great start to the season have lost their last two games the most recent being a 5-3 home defeat against MW Magpies. 

MW MAGPIES  V  ST PETERS   MARKET WEIGHTON SCHOOL, SPRING ROAD- REFEREE MATT COULSON

Both MW Magpies and St Peters who had impressive wins a fortnight ago meet at Market Weighton School. The home side won 5-3 at North Ferriby Sporting which saw them end the day joint top of the table whilst St Peters got their first win of the campaign after beating Blackburn Leisure B 7-3 at home. This should be a wide open game in their first ever meeting.

DIVISION FIVE

AAK S+S   V  TICKTON     BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE- REFEREE   JEFF SMITH KICK OFF 2-15PM

Third placed AAK S+S take on neighbours Tickton who are one place and one point above them at Bishop Burton College. AAK last played a month ago when they were beaten 4-1 by Leven. The visitors last game was a 3-2 win against Spartans. Both sides need a win to keep the pressure on leaders Leven.

GOAT FC  V  GIPSYVILLE BOSUN   BRIDLINGTON SPORTS CLUB, MUIRFIELD ROAD, BRIDLINGTON- REFEREE PAUL WARREN

Goat FC who have seen their early season promise disappear recently welcome Gipsyville Bosun to Bridlington Sports club hoping to get back to winning ways. Goat were hammered 9-2 against Leven last time out whilst Bosun last played at the beginning of October when they beat Tickton 4-1. This should be a good open game between two of the divisions top scorers. 

SPARTANS  V  MOLESCROFT RANGERS B    HULL UNIVERSITY- REFEREE CAN UGAN

Two of the bottom three meet at Hull University as Spartans take on Molescroft Rangers B. Spartans were beaten by the odd goal in five against Tickton and the visitors beat Swanland B 4-3 two weeks back. Both sides have been very inconsistent so far this season so this is game which is really difficult to predict an outcome.

SWANLAND B  V  LEVEN    BLOSSOM CLOSE, WEST LEYS ROAD, SWANLAND -REFEREE GARY HALLETT

Swanland B who have found the going very difficult after doing the double last season and find themselves bottom of the table have a visit from the table topping Leven side. The home side with a bare eleven went down 4-3 at the hands of Molescroft Rangers B in their last game whilst Leven hammered Goat FC 9-2 to top the table.

DIVISION SIX

AFC WILLERBY B   V  BARHAM      WOLFRETON COLLEGE, WELL LANE, WILLERBY- REFEREE  GEORG DELA SAGA

AFC Willerby B entertain Barham at Wolfreton College in this re-arranged game which is a clash of two of the bottom three. Willerby were beaten 4-1 by Priory in a league and cup double header in their last game whilst Barham have yet to pick up a point so far. They went down also 4-1 to leaders East Hull Sporting, this game will give both side the opportunity to get their first win of the season.

HORNSEA TOWN  V  NORTHERN WANDERERS B   ATWICK ROAD, HORNSEA- REFEREE GED STEAD

Hornsea Town host Northern Wanderers B knowing a win will take them within two points of leaders East Hull Sporting. They drew 3-3 at Little Weighton in their last game for Northern they have only played twice this season the last one being also against Little Weighton who they beat 6-3. This is a contest between two of the best defences in the division so a goal fest isn`t on the cards.

OVER 50`S DIVISION EAST

HEDON RANGERS  V  HORNSEA TOWN    SOUTH HOLDERNESS COLLEGE, PRESTON- REFEREE  LEE NOBLE

Hedon Rangers and Hornsea Town meet for the second time in a month when they go head to head at South Holderness. The previous encounter at Hornsea in a league and cup double header saw Hedon win an eleven goal thriller 7-4 and no doubt the return fixture will be another open affair.

NORTH FERRIBY  V  BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS    VERSA SPORTSWEAR STADIUM, CHURCH ROAD, NORTH FERRIBY- REFEREE STEVE BARRETT

North Ferriby welcome Bridlington Town Rovers to the Versa Sportswear Stadium in their first home game of the season. Ferriby were beaten 3-1 at Preston United in their only outing so far. Brid have also only played once this season when they beat Hedon Rangers 5-3 these two old rivals should produce a decent game.

Test

A second successive Sunday home game for Hull City means that there is a reduced programme this weekend. There are fixtures in the Premier Division and Divisions Two and Six.  Don`t forget that the clocks go back 1 hour on Saturday night.

PREMIER DIVISION

BOTTESFORD TOWN   V  BLACKBURN LEISURE A  BOTTESFORD TOWN FC, ONTARIO ROAD, BOTTESFORD- REFEREE STEPHEN BALDWIN MATCH POSTPONED TO BE RE-ARRANGED BY 22ND NOVEMBER 

Bottesford Town entertain Blackburn Leisure A looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season against the bottom placed side. The hosts drew 3-3 at Waterloo last time out. For Blackies this game comes on the back of their depleted side going down 8-0 at home to Liv two weeks ago.

SYMONDS & GREENHAM  V  WATERLOO    SIR HENRY COOPER PARK, ORCHARD PARK- REFEREE KEVIN PICK

It is second versus third at Sir Henry Cooper Park as Symonds and Greenham face up to Waterloo. Symonds have won both of their games so far this season the most recent being a 2-1 win at Swanland A. Waterloo went down to Liv by the only goal of the game last Sunday and will want to avoid back to back defeats.

WESTELLA WILLERBY   V  LIV  HILLTOP SPORTS PARK, WILLERBY- REFEREE ELLIS DOUGLAS

Westella Willerby play just their second game of the season when they welcome Liv to Hilltop on Sunday. The hosts last played a league game way back in mid September when they lost 3-2 at  Symonds & Greenham. For Liv it is a second game in successive weeks after their 1-0 win again Waterloo last Sunday which saw them go top of the table.

DIVISION TWO

BOTANIC FIRE   V  NEWLAND   MATCH POSTPONED- REARRANGED FOR 1ST NOVEMBER

GREAT DRIFFIELD A   V  BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS   CEMETERY LANE, DRIFFIELD- REFEREE NEIL WOODCOCK

Great Driffield A host near neighbours Bridlington Town Rovers looking for a second successive win. They won 4-3 at Howden two weeks ago to get their first win of the campaign. Brid have found the going tough after their promotion and still seek their first win, they lost 5-2 at home against Preston United two weeks ago.

NORTHERN WANDERERS A   V  HEDON RANGERS   MALET LAMBERT SCHOOL, JAMES RECKITT AVENUE- REFEREE PETER COLLINS MATCH POSTPONED- CONCEDED BY HEDON RANGERS WHO ARE UNABLE TO RAISE A TEAM

Northern Wanderers A who are one of four teams who are joint top of the table entertain Hedon Rangers at Malet Lambert. They came back from 2-0 down at Hodgsons to run out 6-2 winners. Hedon were also involved in an eight goal game after they drew 4-4 at home against Newland so this is likely to be a good open encounter.

PRESTON UNITED  V  HODGSONS  ADDISON ROAD, PRESTON- REFEREE ANDREW MCNAUGHT MATCH POSTPONED- UNFIT PITCH

Two more of the joint leaders meet at Addison Road as Preston United host Hodgsons. Preston won 5-2 at Bridlington Town Rovers in their last game whilst Hodgsons let a two lead slip before going down 6-2 at home to Northern Wanderers A. Who ever wins the game could well end the day top of the table.

DIVISION SIX

AFC WILLERBY B   V  BARHAM      MATCH POSTPONED- REARRANGED FOR 1ST NOVEMBER

EASINGTON UNITED   V  PRIORY    LOW FARM, BECK STREET, EASINGTON- REFEREE GED STEAD

Easington United welcome old rivals Priory to Low Farm in their first game for a month since drawing 4-4 with AFC Willerby B. Priory also played Willerby in their most recent game in a double header league and cup last Sunday winning 4-1 which was their first win of the season. Games between the sides usually produce plenty of goals as Easington`s 5-3 win a double header back in April shows.

EAST HULL SPORTING   V  LITTLE WEIGHTON   ANDREW MARVELL SCHOOL, BARHAM ROAD- REFEREE GARY HALLETT

East Hull Sporting who  have started life in the Veterans League in the best possible way winning all three of their games so far take on Little Weighton at Andrew Marvell this Sunday. East Hull won 4-1 at Barham in their last game and for the visitors they got their first point of the season when they drew 3-3 with Hornsea Town a couple of weeks ago.

HORNSEA TOWN  V  NORTHERN WANDERERS B    MATCH POSTPONED- REARRANGED FOR 1ST NOVEMBER

With four games re-arranged from last Sunday we have 18 games this weekend across all  Divisions along with an Over 50`s fixture.

PREMIER DIVISION

LIV   V  WATERLOO      HAWORTH PARK- REFEREE   KEVIN PICK

Due to be played at the end of last month but quickly re-arranged Liv take on Waterloo at Haworth Park. Following the withdrawal of Reckitts these two sides are amongst the contenders for the Premier Division title. Liv won 8-0 at Blackburn Leisure A last Sunday whilst Waterloo drew 3-3 at home to Bottesford Town also last weekend. Who ever wins on Sunday will end the day top of the table.

DIVISION TWO

BOTANIC FIRE   V  SOUTH CAVE   HULL UNIVERSITY, INGLEMIRE LANE- REFEREE CAN UGAN

In another re-arranged game Botanic Fire host South Cave at Hull University looking to make it two wins from two games. They haven`t played for a month since winning 3-0 at Hedon Rangers. South Cave have had a difficult start to life back in Division Two and they also played Hedon in their last game going down 4-2 so the form book would suggest a home win.

DIVISION THREE

AFC WILLERBY A   V  BRIGG TOWN    WOLFRETON COLLEGE, WELL LANE, WILLERBY- REFEREE PHIL GRIFFIN

Top of the table Brigg Town travel over to Wolfreton College to take on AFC Willerby A hoping to maintain their 100% record. The hosts were beaten 6-2 at Gilberdyke Phoenix two weeks ago whilst Brigg beat Great Driffield B 4-0 to make it three wins in a row at the start of the season.

HULL ATHLETIC   V  AFC NORTH   SIRIUS ACADEMY, PICKERING ROAD- REFEREE NICK HUNT

It is second versus fourth at Sirius Academy as Hull Athletic go head to head with AFC North. Hull Athletic were held to a 1-1 draw by Howden in their last game, for the visitors this is their first game for a month since going down 3-1 at AFC Willerby A a month ago. Both sides will be looking to get back to winning ways so this should be a good open affair.

HOWDEN  V  GREAT DRIFFIELD B     HOWDEN FIELD, STATION ROAD, HOWDEN- REFEREE ELLIS DOUGLAS

Howden buoyed by getting their first point of the season after drawing 1-1 at Hull Athletic will be confident of getting their first win when they entertain Great Driffield B on Sunday. The visitors are bottom of the table having lost all three games so far and they have yet to score their first goal. They were beaten 4-0 at leaders Brigg Town last time out.   

MALT SHOVEL SELBY   V  GILBERDYKE PHOENIX    DENISON ROAD- REFEREE JOHN SUTTON

There is a local derby at Denison Road as Malt Shovel Selby entertain Gilberdyke Phoenix. The home side last played a month ago when they were beaten 3-1 by Hull Athletic. Gilberdyke were 6-2 winners against AFC Willerby A a fortnight ago and will be favourites to take the points but the home side will hope to have a few of their regulars back after conceding their last game.

DIVISION FOUR

BRANDESBURTON  V  DRUM    CATWICK LANE, BRANDESBURTON- MALCOLM HIGH

Two sides who got their first win of the season last time out meet at Catwick Lane as Brandesburton play Drum. Brandesburton won a nine goal thriller against Hessle Rangers last weekend whilst Drum beat St Peters two weeks back. A win for either side would see them move into the top four in the table and make it back to back three points.

MOLESCROFT RANGERS A   V  HESSLE RANGERS   HULL UNIVERSITY, INGLEMIRE LANE- REFEREE ANDREW MCNAUGHT

It is top versus joint bottom when Molescroft Rangers A entertain Hessle Rangers at Hull University. The home side beat North Ferriby Sporting 5-2 in their last game for Hessle they were beaten 5-4 by Brandesburton last Sunday they have no problem scoring but have a defence which is guilty of giving their opposition too many chances and with Molescroft the top scorers in the division they have a tough afternoon in prospect.

NORTH FERRIBY SPORTING   V  MW MAGPIES    SOUTH HUNSLEY SCHOOL, MELTON- REFEREE NEIL HAMBLY

Both North Ferriby Sporting and Market Weighton Magpies lost last time out as they lost their 100% records and they will want to get back to winning ways when they meet at South Hunsley. The hosts were beaten 5-2 by leaders Molescroft Rangers A whilst the Magpies went down 3-2 against Blackburn Leisure B at Brough.

ST PETERS   V  BLACKBURN LEISURE B    HALTEMPRICE SPORTS CENTRE, GORTON ROAD- REFEREE PAUL BROOKS

St Peters who are still looking for their first win of the campaign take on a Blackburn Leisure B at Haltemprice Sports Centre. St Peters were beaten 2-0 at Costello against Drum and Blackies will be hoping for back to back wins after beating MW Magpies 3-2 two weeks back. This should be a good open encounter between two inconsistent outfits. 

DIVISION FIVE

GIPSYVILLE BOSUN   V   AAK S+S   MATCH POSTPONED- REARRANGED FOR 8TH NOVEMBER

LEVEN  V  GOAT FC    SPORTS HALL & PLAYING FIELD, LEVEN- REFEREE GED STEAD

Goat FC make the short trip down the A165 down to Leven in a game between two of the four teams who are sitting joint top of the division. Leven beat AAK S+S at Bishop Burton 4-1 whilst Goat went down to their first defeat of the season when they were beaten 5-1 at home by Molescroft Rangers B a fortnight ago. The sides are amongst the top scorers so this one will not be without goalmouth action.

MOLESCROFT RANGERS B   V  SWANLAND B    BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE-REFEREE TBC

Both Molescroft Rangers B and Swanland B were promoted from Division Six last season but have found the higher division a much harder proposition. The home side got their first win of the season when they won 5-1 at Goat FC in their last game. Swanland still seek that first win and currently sit bottom of the table after losing 7-3 against Spartans but they will recall that they won both encounters last season 2-1 and another close game is on the cards.

TICKTON  V  SPARTANS    LONGCROFT SCHOOL, BEVERLEY- REFEREE GEORG DELA SAGA

Tickton will be looking to bounce back from losing 4-1 against Gipsyville Bosun when they welcome Spartans to Longcroft School. Spartans had their first three points of the season last time out after an impressive 7-3 win at Swanland B. The two sides are much better going forward than defending so an open encounter is likely.

DIVISION SIX

BILTON  V  NORTHERN WANDERERS B   PLAYING FIELD, MAIN ROAD, BILTON- REFEREE LEE NOBLE

Bilton put their 100% record on the line when they host Northern Wanderers B at Main Road knowing that if they win they will end the day top of the table. Northern also have a 100% record having played just the once so far this season a 6-3 win against Little Weighton a month ago. Bilton also beat Little Weighton last time out a bit more comfortably by 11-1.

PRIORY   V  AFC WILLERBY B   PRIDE PARK, FIRST LANE, ANLABY- REFEREE GARY HALLETT

There is a league and Preliminary Round Cup tie double header at Pride Park as Priory take on AFC Willerby B. Priory have lost both of their games so far, the most recent being 5-0 against East Hull Sporting and currently sit bottom of the table. The visitors drew 4-4 at Easington United their only game so far this season. So three points and a place in the Quarter Finals of the cup are the reward for a win for either side.

OVER 50`S DIVISION WEST

SWANLAND   V  LOUTH   WEST LEYS ROAD, SWANLAND PLAYING FIELD, WEST LEYS ROAD, SWANLAND- REFEREE TBC

Swanland entertain Louth at West Leys Road knowing a win would see them end the day six points clear at the top of the table. Swanland beat Blackburn Leisure 2-0 in the only game played so far in this Division. Louth make their seasonal debut and look to retain their unbeaten record against Swanland after tow wins and a draw in their three previous meetings.

OVER 50`S DIVISION EAST

BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS  V  HEDON RANGERS  GYPSEY ROAD, BRIDLINGTON- REFEREE ADAM WEDGE

Bridlington Town Rovers begin their campaign with a home game against Hedon Rangers at Gypsey Road. Hedon won their only game a cup and league double header at Hornsea Town 7-4 and another trip to the coast awaits them. The sides met once last season when Brid rovers won a nine goal thriller 5-4.

This Sunday sees the first of probably quite a number of Hull City Premier League games taking place on a Sunday. As a result we have a reduced programme. it is also likely that in those games which do go ahead will be without a number of players who will be missing as they attend the game. 

PREMIER DIVISION 

BLACKBURN LEISURE A     V  LIV    SKILLINGS LANE, BROUGH- REFEREE  NEIL HAMBLY

Two sides who have only played one game so far this season meet at Brough as Blackburn Leisure A take on Liv. Blackies were beaten 6-1 by Waterloo a month ago when several of their regulars were missing. Liv drew 2-2 with Swanland A the same day. So whoever recovers best from a month off will likely go on and win the game.

SWANLAND A   V  SYMONDS & GREENHAM   SOUTH HUNSLEY SCHOOL, MELTON- REFEREE  ELLIS DOUGLAS

Swanland A welcome Symonds and Greenham to South Hunsley looking for their first win of the season. The visitors have won both of their games so far and sit top of the table, they came back from 2-0 down to beat Reckitts 3-2 in their most recent game. Swanland were beaten 5-2 at Bottesford Town two weeks ago and will need to improve if they are to win the game.

WATERLOO   V  BOTTESFORD TOWN      BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE- REFEREE  KEVIN PICK    KICK OFF 2-15PM  

Both Waterloo and Bottesford Town are playing just their second game of the campaign when they meet at Leconfield on Sunday.They both won their first game with comfortable home wins, Waterloo beat Blackburn Leisure A 6-1 whilst Bottesford won 5-2 against Swanland A, so this could be a high scoring open encounter. 

WESTELLA WILLERBY  V  RECKITTS   MATCH POSTPONED AS RECKITTS HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM THE LEAGUE

DIVISION TWO

BOTANIC FIRE V  SOUTH CAVE   MATCH POSTPONED -REARRANGED FOR 18TH OCTOBER

BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS   V  PRESTON UNITED   GYPSEY ROAD, BRIDLINGTON- REFEREE  GED STEAD NEIL WOODCOCK

Bridlington Town Rovers play for the second successive weekend when they host Preston United at Gypsey Road. They let a 2-0 halftime lead against Newland slip as the visitors fought back to take a point after a 2-2 draw. Preston in their first game of the season beat Great Driffield A 3-1. Games between the two sides are usually close competitive affairs and this one will likely follow that trend.   

HEDON RANGERS   V  NEWLAND    SOUTH HOLDERNESS ACADEMY, PRESTON- REFEREE  ANDREW MCNAUGHT

Hedon Rangers will be looking to make it back to back wins when they entertain Newland at South Holderness. They beat South Cave 4-2 away whilst Newland came from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at Bridlington Town Rovers last Sunday. This game is a hard one to call but it should be a good open encounter.  

HODGSONS  V  NORTHERN WANDERERS A   SPORTS AND RECREATION CLUB, MILES LANE, LECONFIELD- REFEREE  PAUL WARREN PETE COLLINS

Hodgsons have taken to life in the Veterans League in their stride having won both of their games so far, the most recent being an odd goal in seven win at Newland. Northern Wanderers haven`t played since going down 4-2 at Great Driffield A in a league/cup double header four weeks ago and they face a difficult task when they travel over to Leconfield.

DIVISION FOUR

HESSLE RANGERS    V   BRANDESBURTON    SIRIUS ACADEMY, PICKERING ROAD, HULL- REFEREE  CAN UGAN

Originally due to be played last Sunday but quickly re-arranged Hessle Rangers take on Brandesburton at Sirius Academy. Both sides are still looking for their first win of the season so they will both think this will be an ideal opportunity to break their duck. Hessle drew 2-2 with St Peters in their last game whilst Brandesburton went down 8-2 at home to leaders Molescroft Rangers A.

DIVISION SIX

BARHAM    V  EAST HULL SPORTING    ALDERMAN KNEESHAW PARK, BARHAM ROAD- REFEREE  GEORG DELA SAGA

Their is a local derby at Alderman Kneeshaw Park as Barham take on East Hull Sporting in a joint bottom versus joint top clash.

East Hull have had great start to their Veterans League debut season winning both of their games so far, the latest was 5-0 versus Priory.

BILTON   V  NORTHERN WANDERERS B   MATCH POSTPONED- RE-ARRANGED FOR 18TH OCTOBER

LITTLE WEIGHTON   V  HORNSEA TOWN    WHITE GAP ROAD, LITTLE WEIGHTON- REFEREE  GARY HALLETT

There is another bottom versus top game at White Gap Road as Little Weighton entertain Hornsea Town. After being hammered 11-1 by Bilton last time out the home side will be looking for a positive response. For Hornsea they will be looking for a third successive win after beating Barham 5-2 in their last outing.

PRIORY  V  AFC WILLERBY B     MATCH POSTPONED- RE-ARRANGED FOR 18TH OCTOBER

 

We start October with Divisions 3,4 and 5 back in action this weekend plus a re-arranged Division Two game and an Over 50s League/Cup game.

DIVISION TWO

BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS   V  NEWLAND  GYPSEY ROAD, BRIDLINGTON- REFEREE  CAN UGAN

Originally due to be played last month Bridlington Town Rovers entertain Newland at Gypsey Road. This is their first game of the season after having to concede their game last Sunday so Brid will be playing catch up. Newland have played just the once going down 4-3 at home to Hodgsons last week. 

DIVISION THREE

AFC NORTH  V  MALT SHOVEL SELBY   RWB PLAYING FIELD CUMBRIAN WAY, NORTH BRANSHOLME- REFEREE  PAUL BROOKS  MATCH POSTPONED- CONCEDED BY MALT SHOVEL SELBY

Two sides coming off defeats in their last game meet at the RWB as AFC North take on Malt Shovel Selby. North were beaten 3-1 at AFC Willerby A whilst Selby went down 3-1 at home to Hull Athletic so both will be looking to get back to winning ways in what should be a highly competitive affair.

BRIGG TOWN  V  GREAT DRIFFIELD B       EC SURFACING STADIUM, WRAWBY ROAD, BRIGG- REFEREE   STEVEN BALDWIN

Brigg Town welcome Great Driffield B to the EC Surfacing Stadium in their first home game of the season looking for a third successive win. They won 3-2 at Gilberdyke Phoenix last Sunday but for the visitors it is the opposite story as they have played twice and have suffered two heavy defeats and have yet to score a single goal. They were beaten 6-0 by Gilberdyke Phoenix a fortnight back and the formbook would suggest a comfortable home win but you never know. 

GILBERDYKE PHOENIX   V  AFC WILLERBY A    INGS PLAYING FIELD, GILBERDYKE- REFEREE  ELLIS DOUGLAS MATT MITCHELL

Gilberdyke Phoenix will want to bounce back from going down 3-2 to a late goal against Brigg Town at home last Sunday when they entertain AFC Willerby A at Ings View. Willerby beat AFC North 3-1 in their last match. This will be a good open game between two sides who look to get forward at every opportunity.

HULL ATHLETIC   V  HOWDEN     SIRIUS ACADEMY, PICKERING ROAD, HULL- REFEREE  KEVIN PICK

Two new sides this season meet at Sirius Academy as Hull Athletic and Howden go head to head. They have made contrasting starts with the home side having won both of their games so far both away from home, the most recent being 3-1 at Malt Shovel Selby. For Howden they have found the going tough so far with back to back losses the latest being 6-1 at home to Brigg Town.

DIVISION FOUR

BLACKBURN LEISURE B  V  MW MAGPIES    SKILLINGS LANE, BROUGH- REFEREE  JOHN SUTTON  TBC

Blackburn Leisure B face a difficult task when the take on MW Magpies at Skillings Lane. The visitors have started their first season in style with two wins from two, the latest being a 5-2 home win against Drum. Blackies were beaten 5-1 at North Ferriby Sporting two weeks ago and they will need to improve on that performance if they are to get anything from the game.

DRUM    V  ST PETERS    COSTELLO PLAYING FIELD- REFEREE   ANDREW MCNAUGHT

There is a local derby at Costello as near neighbours Drum and St Peters meet. Drum have found the going tough so far after being promoted and they were beaten 5-2 at MW Magpies last time out. St Peters have also struggled but they got their first point of the season after drawing 3-3 with Hessle Rangers in their most recent game.

HESSLE RANGERS   V  BRANDESBURTON     MATCH POSTPONED- BRANDESBURTON USING THEIR WILDCARD

MOLESCROFT RANGERS A   V  NORTH FERRIBY SPORTING   HULL UNIVERSITY, INGLEMIRE LANE- REFEREE  JEFF SMITH

Two of the three sides boasting 100% records meet at Hull University as Molescroft Rangers A take on North Ferriby Sporting. Molescroft won 8-2 at Brandesburton a fortnight back whilst Ferriby had a 5-1 win against Blackburn Leisure B. What a game is in prospect as the two highest scorers face the two best defences. If their is a winner they will top the table come Sunday evening.

DIVISION FIVE

AAK S+S    V  LEVEN    BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE- REFEREE  STEVE BARRETT     KICK OFF 2-15PM

AAK S+S will be hoping to win a third successive game when they face Leven at Bishop Burton at the weekend. AAK beat Molescroft Rangers B 4-0 last time out whilst Leven got their first win after coming from 1-0 down to beat Gipsyville Bosun 4-1. This first ever meeting between the sides should be a decent game.

GIPSYVILLE BOSUN   V  TICKTON   COSTELLO PLAYING FIELD- REFEREE  GEORG DELA SAGA

After being beaten 4-1 by Leven two weeks ago Gipsyville return to action with a home game against Tickton at Costello. The visitors are unbeaten so far after they drew 3-3 with Swanland B in their last game. This is another game which is a hard one to call with both sides wanting to keep in touch with the top two sides.

GOAT FC   V  MOLESCROFT RANGERS B   BRIDLINGTON SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB, MUIRFIELD ROAD, BRDILINGTON- REFEREE  NEIL HAMBLY

It is joint top versus joint bottom at the Bridlington Sports and Social Club as Goat FC take on Molescroft Rangers B. Goat have scored sixteen times in their two games with ten of them coming against Spartans in their 10-3 win. Molescroft have had a disappointing start to the season losing both games so far the latest being a 4-0 home defeat against AAK S+S and they will face a huge task to get their first points of the season.

SWANLAND B   V  SPARTANS   SWANLAND PLAYING FIELD, BLOSSOM CLOSE, WEST LEYS ROAD, SWANLAND-REFEREE  GARY HALLETT

Swanland B who drew 3-3 against Tickton a fortnight back have a home game with Spartans to look forward to on Sunday. The visitors were on the wrong end of a 10-3 hammering at home to Goat FC and will need to improve significantly to get anything from the Swanland game.

Two sides who had contrasting fortunes in round 1 meet at Catwick Lane as Brandesburton entertain Molescroft Rangers A.

There is a local derby at South Hunsley as neighbours North Ferriby Sporting and Blackburn Leisure go head to head.

ST PETERS   V  HESSLE RANGERS   HALTEMPRICE SPORTS CENTRE, GORTON ROAD- REFEREE  ANDREW MCNAUGHT

The game between St Peters and Hessle Rangers at Gorton Road is a proper derby as the two sides share the facilities at Haltemprice. Both sides lost after leading in their opening game Hessle Rangers were 3-1 up against MW Magpies but went down 5-3 and St Peters were beaten 4-1 by Molescroft Rangers A. So a keen game is on the cards as neither side will want to lose their fist two games.

Leven who were beaten 3-1 by Tickton on their return to the Veterans League after over a decade away take on Gipsyville Bosun. The visitors won a high scoring affair against Molescroft Rangers B 5-4.

Another local derby takes place at Bishop Burton College as co-tenants Molescroft Rangers B and AAK S+S meet for the local bragging rights.

The first game of the Over 50`s season sees old rivals Blackburn Leisure and Swanland meet at Brough.

Symonds & Greenham is the new name for what was previously Lord Nelson and they begin with a home game against newcomers Westella Willerby at Sir Henry Cooper Park.
