Ripon 2s traveled to Huddersfield YMCA’s 2

Conditions were not ideal with cold wind and rain played on a very muddy pitch that at time seemed hard to run on. Huddersfield started strong and ran hard lines leading them to a 12 point lead but the power of Ripon s pack started to dominate winning both our and there ball in the scrum, eventually leading to a penalty try just before the half
At the start of the second half Huddersfield Hooker when down with what seemed to be a tactical injury and the scrums went uncontested totally taking away Ripon’s advantage and giving a platform for Huddersfield runners to score further points. A game littered with offsides led to another penalty try for Ripon making the final score 26 -14 to Huddersfield
Ripon left the day disappointed as Huddersfield fielded 2 more front row players and what was looking like a good close contest was spoiled
