This was our first meeting with Rossendale, who finished third in Regional 1 North West.  The Papa John's Community Cup gives us a chance of an outing at Twickenham.  We had Alnwick, Rossendale and Dudley Kingswinford in our pool, with the draw sending us to...

A sunny afternoon at Kelleythorpe as Driffield welcomed Paviors RUFC for their first visit to East Yorkshire. Paviors made the journey from Nottingham in a relegation fight with Scunthorpe : at kick-off, Paviors had a four-point lead on Scunthorpe, with both teams...

The 1st XV headed to Ilkley, looking to carry their fantastic February form into March.   With only two fixtures remaining, we need every point we can get to claim second spot in the league.  Ilkley have struggled most of the season.  However, they seem to have found...

The previous Saturday, Kelleythorpe witnessed as good a performance from a Driffield team as has been seen for some time.  Our ball handling and continuity play was excellent, matched up with our defence, and was highly satisfying for players, coaches and the large...

Kelleythorpe welcomed Heath who, like ourselves, will be delighted with their first season at Level 5.  They have a game in hand and Billingham still to play, so still had a slim chance of catching them.  However, if both we and Billingham won today, Billingham would...

Scunthorpe travelled to Kelleythorpe to complete the rearranged fixture from the cold snap back in December.  Scunthorpe were in a relegation battle back then, and that has not changed since.  Scunthorpe have only played twice since the earlier fixture was postponed,...

Another tough game for our 1st XV, as they headed to Castle Park to face Doncaster Phoenix.  With Phoenix just 2 places behind in the league, this was a game that had to be won to maintain the pressure on the top teams. In the first meeting this season, the Woldsmen...

The 1st XV travelled to league-leaders Billingham to play a team that sits pretty comfortably at the top of Regional 1 North East, 15 points ahead of second-place Alnwick.  They have been living up to their pre-season tag of league champs, although they had a slip-up...

Today's encounter was likely to be a close contest, and local derbies are always unpredictable.  Back in October, when we travelled to York for our first match against them, the 1st XV had a great afternoon, coming away with a nail-biter win 19-24.  Driffield just...
