6th Division - Half Way

With the second half of the season just about underway here's a look at who might be challenging for promotion. The obvious contenders for Champions are Yorkshire Post CC who are clearly head and shoulders above the rest of the league. The competition for second place however is a real scrap with only 9 points between ourselves in 2nd place and Whixley in 9th. Amaranth and Kippax both have a game in hand over the teams above them and should either of them win that game they would rise up the table to 3rd place, just 2 points behind East Keswick. Here's a breakdown of the most of those team remaining fixtures:

EAST KESWICK		HILLAM & MONK F.		CHURCH FENTON		SOUTH MILFORD

Green Hammerton (A)		Yorkshire Post (A)

Church Fenton (H)		Bramham (H)		Kippax (H)
Church Fenton (A)				Kippax (A)
Bramham (A)		Whixley (A)		Amaranth (H)

My personal tip (outside East Keswick!) would be Church Fenton as they possibly have the easiest fixtures in the second half of the season and with a seemingly good batting line-up they might prove hard to beat. As with all those things 1st team call-ups and holidays etc. can make a huge difference to the quality of the teams.
