at moss valley. for  regional north east division 2 rugby union action. level 6 on the pyramid system. where moortown, 8 wins from 10 and 4 points clear  of scarborough in 2nd take on 6th  placed old crosslians from halifax. old crocs as they are affectionately known are the former club of ex england hooker bryan  moore. 2 real ales on in the bar also. 

 lovely stuff.


full time from moss valley, and mortown go marching on scoring 8 tries to 2 and a 51 15 win over old crocs. 

home team stormed out of the blocks with 3 unanswered tries in the first 15 minutes) but, the rest of the first half was fairly even with old crocs spending a large preportion of the game in the moortown half, and it was 22 8 at half time. but this spurred town into action with 5 2nd half tries, with a consolation for crocs at the end. the audio was town's final try, with the voice in the background a rather disgruntled crocs fan. crowd about 60. great club house, nice food and beer and very friendly too. '


  1906 pale ale from the wessex brewery at the bar. lovely chips and gravy from the club's cafe next door two.

 ground actually in allwoodley  north leeds as opposed to moortown  itself. a still and cool day over here on the wrong side of the hill.
