Wath and Dinnington set for last day showdown
LOCAL rivals Wath RUFC and Dinnington's season-long battle to become league champions is to go down to the final weekend.
The two Rotherham sides have been neck and neck at the top of Yorkshire One all through the winter, trading win for win.
The two have identical Win, Draw and Loss records and are separated at the top only by Wath's superior Points Difference.
Wath beat Leodiensian 52-7 at Moor Road last week while Dinnington kept up the pressure by outscoring Wensleydale 48-26 at Lodge Lane.
It sets the scene perfectly for Saturday's final round of matches, both away from home.
Wath finish off away to mid-table Old Rishworthian while Dinnington have a more difficult assignment, on paper at least, away to fifth-placed West Leeds.
A bonus point win for Wath will guarantee them the title.
Whatever happens, the two are well clear at the top and looking forward to promotion.
The two teams are coached by two ex Rotherham Titans in Matt Challinor (Dinnington) and Ryan Burrows (Wath).
