Sunderland Univeristy 1^st XV vs. University of York 2nd XV

Following York’s 94 points to 5 victory over Sunderland on their last encounter, York have been offered (and accepted) the walkover. These crucial three points have now brought York IUniveristy 2^nd XV to the top of the league. York now only need to get a draw in their final encounter to be promoted into Northern Conference League 2B. However the Yorkies will be looking for nothing other than the win in the local derby against York St.John’s 1^st XV. If York were to lose the game they would find themselves tied on points with York St John’s 1^st XV and Sheffield Hallam 2^nd XV, so the win is crucial. The intensity at York RI (where the game is being played) come Wednesday will be at Roses level, especially considering York are still looking for vengeance after York St.John inflicted one of the Uni’s 2^nd teams only two loses beating the under-strength York side 32 points to 5. So I therefore implore you to come and watch and support the bumble-bees in their final push for promotion. 2.00 p.m kick-off at York RI (Y024 4NT – http://www.yorkrirugby.moonfruit.com/#/locationcontacts/4534347624 ).
