Report by Ben Cunningham:

In the Rossborough Mixed Premier league, following their 5-5 draw with Bacchas B last weekend Castletown Celts meet top of the table Bacchas A who went top last weekend following a 3-2 win over Valkyrs A. Vikings A meeting Valkyrs A this weekend and this looks set to be a very close match. Elsewhere bottom-of-the-table Vikings B meet second-from-bottom Valkyrs B both teams knowing they need to get a win out of this game. The final game in this league sees Ramsey A who got their first win of the season last weekend play Bacchas B. 

In Rossborough Mixed Division One, Vikings D who drew with second place Harlequins A who were 4-1 down at halftime last weekend play Bacchas C who lost out to Vikings C last weekend. Top-of-the-league Valkyrs C meet Harlequins A this weekend with Harlequins knowing that a win this weekend will bring them just a point behind Valkyrs C who dropped a point last weekend after drawing with Castletown Southerners. Vikings C play Castletown Southerners. 

In Rossborough Mixed Division Two, top-of-the-league Castletown Cammags will be hoping they can keep on marching at the top when they play Vikings E who lost out to Ramsey Ravens last weekend. Ramsey Rookies play Ramsey Ravens in a northern derby which will be an entertaining game. The final game sees bottom of the league Castletown Cushags play second from bottom Valkyrs D in a must win game for both teams.

In Rossborough Mixed Division Three, Valkyrs Colts meet Harlequins B following their late winner in a 2-1 win over Bacchas D. Castletown Carrick play Bacchas D in a mid-table clash. Top of the league Bacchas Colts who have been scoring plenty of goals meet Harlequins C who will be hoping they can keep Bacchas Colts away from the goal. 

Rossbrough Mixed U15’s league takes a break for the next two weeks over the half term period, with matches getting back underway in this league on the 5th of November.
