Another fantastic performance saw Ripon beat rivals Bardsey 5-0 at Mallorie Park in their New Years Eve fixture . Goals from Tom Parkman (3!!) , Stephen Fletcher and Stephen Hodgson gave Ripon a commanding victory . This now sees the team climb to an respectable tenth in the League and still have games in hand on almost all the teams above them .

A few weeks ago the Reserves were near the bottom of the table . However a fantastic turn around in form has seen them put a five game unbeaten run together of three wins and two draws . Added to this the team has reached the Hulme Cup Final .

With three home games to look forward to in January things are most certainly looking up . A big well done to the Management and Players of the Reserves and fingers crossed the good run continues well into 2012 !!
