Alnwick RUFC vs Ilkley RFC, Saturday 17th October 2026, Venue: Greensfield, Alnwick, Result: Alnwick 66pts, Ilkley 26pts Alnwick are emerging as promotion favourites as the league table, after 4 early season matches, reveal their second place behind unbeaten neighbours Northern.

It was Scarborough’s first ever match in Regional One North East having won promotion under the coaching of ex-England star Ben Foden. Having recruited well during the break and going into their centenary season, the wonderful Silver Royd complex was buzzing

For the first time in the club’s 127-year history, the third team, the Centurions, played a league match. A coach trip up to beautiful Wensleydale. The sunshine greeted the travellers and the vista was spectacular. Not many places can challenge Ilkley on that front, but I’m afraid we have to doff our flat caps on that front. As the farmers were at a critical stage of their season, Ilkley assisted the opposition with players. League rules aside, rugby is a game like no other;
