Waterlogged pitch rules out Yarm's scheduled game with Richmond for a second time
Rugby
Yarm's scheduled game with Richmond has again been postponed - much to the frustration of the Teessiders.
A waterlogged pitch rules out the game for a second time, and Yarm club captain Reg Rowland said: “We’ve got new players since Christmas. Training has been good and we are raring to go, but the weather is getting in the way.”
Yarm are third from bottom of Durham and North Three, but with a strengthened squad are looking to climb the table in the remaining weeks of the season.
They have one other game outstanding from an earlier postponement, a trip to Seaham.
With the winter not being as cold as usual, the other clubs are up to date with their fixtures, so there are no league games scheduled for tomorrow.
However Guisborough take a break from their Durham and North One promotion bid, to visit Scarborough in the Yorkshire Shield.
Scarborough are in mid-table in Yorkshire One, so will give Guisborough a good test.
The other Teesside clubs will have a rest day or training sessions.
Redcar hope to be able to field a strong side next week, when leaders Ryton are the visitors.
Redcar, third in Durham and North Two, have already beaten previous leaders Whitley Bay since the turn of the year.
THE future stars of English rugby will be in action at the Darlington Arena - the biggest rugby venue in the country after Twickenham - next month when the English Counties take on the Irish Clubs on Friday, February 21.
The Mowden Park club, who play at the Arena, offer tickets at £5 when booked in advance (£7 on the day). Under-16s go free. Contact the club at Neasham Road, Darlington DL2 1DL, phone 01325 350267 or email info@mowdenpark.com
