Wetherby could only take 13 players across to Ilkley to open their new club house, but still Jack Kaye managed to get on the score sheet and in turn get a call up to the first team for next weeks fixtures. Phil Hawley converted.

Ilkley did lend Wetherby a couple of players to fulfil the fixture but the lack of training as a team showed through and Ilkley romped to victory.

Next week Wetherby play Whafedale 4's at Grange Park, 3pm Kick off.
