Ripon First Team make the trip into Leeds to face Whitkirk Wanderers in the West Yorkshire Premier League clash kick off 2pm . Ripon are enjoying a good run of form in the league with four wins a draw and only one defeat in their last six games . However Whitkirk enjoyed a three all draw away at Bardsey before Christmas so it will not be an easy task . Ripon are currently sixth in the table while Whitkirk are in tenth place , but only six points separate the clubs so a good result is vital . Ripon will also be looking for revenge as Whitkirk sent them packing in the County Cup with a penalty shoot out defeat at Mallorie Park .

The Reserves entertain Whitkirk Reserves at Mallorie Park with a 2pm start . Again the Reserves are in fine form with three wins , two draws and only one defeat in their last six games . Although Whitkirk Reserves currently occupy the bottom spot in the league as proved in recent weeks anything can happen so a hard game is in prospect .

Good luck to both teams and lets hope it is a Ripon win double over the Whitkirk’s come final whistle . Weather prospects for the weekend are good so if you fancy a trip to Leeds or Mallorie Park get down and support the team . Both sides are playing excellent football and your support is always appreciated .
