The Pirates travelled to Ripon for a hastily arranged game after Skipton pulled out of the fixture. Manager Al Brown, faced with big unavailability and call ups to the 1’s managed to scrape together a squad of 12, but Ripon had loads, and sportingly agreed to lend players to the Pirates.
The Pirates raced to a 14-0 lead, however as legs tired, Ripon took control to eventually win 52-19.
Thanks again to Ripon for the loan of players to let this game go ahead.
