WEST RIDING & SPEN VALLEY 2010

The West Riding Cup will provide the first competitive action of the 2010 season with the qualifying rounds taking place on Saturday 27th March at 2.30pm.

Pudsey will be entering two 12 man teams in the competition and the draw for the opening games will be held at Cleckheaton Moorend WMC on Monday 15th March (7.45pm).

The West Riding Association have also published the Wednesday Evening League fixtures for 2010, so to see the programme for Pudsey's A & B teams, click on the button on the left "LEAGUE RESULTS" then click on "SPEN VALLEY". 

 

MIRFIELD LEAGUE 2010

The Mirfield League kicks off on Tuesday 20th April with Pudsey BC taking a place in the top division for the first time in the club's history.

Along with Pudsey, the following teams will be competing in one of the best leagues in the country;

Lower Hopton WMC, Crossgates BC, Littlemoor WMC, Brighouse Sports, Thongsbridge C&BC, Dearne Sports, Alverthorpe WMC, Morton House and Mirfield Old Bank.

Due to some additions and withdrawals of teams this season, there will be a re-construction of the lower Mirfield Divisions. Pudsey B will be playing in Division 6 this time following their promotion last season.

 

Also there is one slight change to the Mirfield rules this season with the deletion of the starred players rule. In recent years, after completing 4 games, clubs had to star up to 5 players who were then not allowed to play in a club's lower team for the remainder of the season. The only restriction now in place is rule 20, which states that any player having played 12 games for a higher team cannot play for the lower team for the remaining games of the season.

2010 COORS PUDSEY CLASSIC - NOW FULL

All 128 entries for the 2010 Coors Pudsey Classic have been received and it will be another excellent line up this season including all former winners of the event; Gary Ellis (2005), Chris Mordue (2006 & 2009), Chris Brown (2007) and Matt Bower (2008).

The final in 2009 was the best yet with Chris Mordue becoming the first player to win the title on more than one occasion in a thrilling 21-19 win against Preston's Simon Coupe.

The prize fund in 2010 has been increased to £4,710 but the entry fee of £20 remains the same. 

Pudsey are again delighted to receive continued support and sponsorship from Coors Brewery as the event continues to go from strength to strength.

A reserve list is now in operation for those who would like to be on standby and players can be added to the list by calling the organiser Andy Hodgson (01274-429726 or 07764-354049).
