| 2 Apr - Around The LeaguesAs the bad weather lingers it was another weekend affected by postponements around the leagues, just two games going ahead in the West Yorkshire League Division One. Those two games involved the division's top two, however, with no change in the positions at the end of them. Rawdon Old Boys maintain their three point lead atop the table after a two nil win at Kippax, whilst Whitkirk Wanderers got back to winning ways by the odd goal in seven against Oxenhope Recreation to remain three points back but with two games in hand. Results also went with form in the Alliance Division Two along with a pair of big scores. Second place Kirk Deighton Rangers Reserves made it five wins in a row with a seven one result against Aberford Albion Reserves whilst Ilkley Town Reserves moved up to fourth with a six one result against Sherburn White Rose Reserves. Only one game besides 'Bridge's went ahead in the Harrogate & District League Division One and the points went the way of eighth place Harlow Hill Reserves who won by the odd goal in seven against Kirkstall Crusaders. There was no Easter Sunday action in the West Riding County Women's League Second Division. |
| 31 Mar - Results: Reserves Remain Eighth 'Bridge Reserves made it back-to-back wins this afternoon, running out to a three one victory on the road at Hampsthwaite United Reserves. Ben Ryder opened the scoring in the second minute for Neil Greer's side and after the hosts had levelled Jack Campbell knocked home a loose ball to restore the lead and send 'Bridge in ahead at the interval. In a close encounter the fourth goal was always going to be crucial and it went the way of the visitors in the 65th minute as the ball was played over the top to Sean Dunbabbin who finished with aplomb. 'Bridge's ninth victory of the season keeps Greer's men eighth in the West Yorkshire Alliance Division Two. 'Bridge 'A', meanwhile, fell to derby defeat at Ripon City Reserves. Stephen Coles' charges led two one at the interval but three second half strikes sealed the points for City leaving 'Bridge remaining in seventh in the Harrogate & District League Division One.

| 26 Mar - Around The LeaguesAfter a period of weather disruption it was back to a full slate of action at the weekend and advantage Rawdon Old Boys in the battle at the top of the West Yorkshire League Division One. The top two met at Rawdon's Hanson Field and it was the hosts who took a three one win, ending Whitkirk's ten match winning run, to move three points clear atop the table. One winning run still very much alive, however, is that of East End Park who remain third after a six nil thrashing of bottom of the table Brighouse Old Boys for their seventh win in a row. Towards the bottom Howden Clough moved out of the bottom two with a two nil win over Rothwell pushing Altofts down into the drop zone after they lost one nil at mid-table Aberford Albion. Into the Alliance Division Two where the advantage does remain with Whitkirk Wanderers Reserves as they chase down top of the table Otley Town Reserves. Town could only draw nil nil with Aberford Albion Reserves on Saturday meaning Wanderers pull within five points with four games in hand thanks to a four one win over Ilkley Town Reserves. There were wins for each of the four top five in action in the Harrogate & District League Division One as Ventus Yeadon Celtic move up to second on goal difference and Bardsey Reserves hit eight for reply of one at ninth-placed Pool AFC Reserves. Middleton Athletic Ladies remain on course in the West Riding County Women's League Second Division, finally, after they smashed double figures against Hebden Royd United Ladies to make it nine wins from nine. Either side of 'Bridge, Farsley Celtic Ladies Development netted five against Skipton Town Ladies to close the gap to Paul Stephenson's women to two points. |
| 25 Mar - Result: Ladies Can't Halt Hopton Boroughbridge AFC couldn't halt the league leaders this afternoon at Aldborough Road as Paul Stephenson's women fell to the narrowest of defeats. Sarah Cross hit a brace and Cheryl Atkinson picked up the Player of the Match award but it wasn't enough as 'Bridge fell to defeat by the odd goal in five to a Lower Hopton side who notch their ninth league win in ten.

| 24 Mar - Result: 'Bridge Snatch Kippax Point Boroughbridge AFC remain sixth in the West Yorkshire League Division One after battling back to salvage a point at Kippax this afternoon.

'Bridge remain three points ahead of Wetherby Athletic in seventh with a game in hand and seven behind Wyke Wanderers in fifth after those two sides played out a nil nil draw. 'Bridge Reserves, meanwhile, climbed a place to eighth in the Alliance Division Two table with a four two win over Huddersfield YM Reserves, but it was a less fruitful afternoon for 'Bridge 'A' who fell to a three one defeat to Bedale AFC Reserves to remain seventh in the Harrogate & District League Division One.

| 19 Mar - Around The LeaguesIt was another weekend highly affected by the weather and the West Yorkshire Alliance Division Two was the only league to see action with two games besides 'Bridge's. First played third and it was division leaders Otley Town Reserves who came out on top, two one home winners to stretch their advantage at the top to four points. Wanderers are seven back of the lead with four games in hand but a yield of just one point in their last four has put a dent in their title credentials. The day's other result came at the other end of the table as Wyke Wanderers Reserves were two one winners at tenth-placed Wetherby Athletic Reserves to move up to eleventh. |
| 17 Mar - Result: Reserves Remain Ninth [Correction made 19 Mar] 'Bridge remain ninth in the West Yorkshire Alliance Division Two after defeat at Ilkley Town Reserves. Neil Greer's side were on the wrong end of a four two result to fall to their third defeat in four. Boroughbridge AFC's trip to Knaresborough Celtic in the Whitworth Cup Semi-Final was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

| 12 Mar - Around The LeaguesThe weather played a big factor in the weekend's fixture sets once again, with just three games across the club's four divisions going ahead, the 'Bridge 'A' win at Bedale AFC Reserves being the sole game in the Harrogate & District League Division One. In the West Yorkshire League Division One it was Rothwell's trip to Kippax in the bottom half of the table that survived the thaw but there was no shortage of goals with the hosts running out to a six two win to consolidate their eighth place in the table whilst Rothwell remain eleventh. It was an almost exact mirror story in the Alliance Division Two where one game went ahead and the hosts were six two winners. Wetherby Athletic Reserves were the victors to move up to tenth in the table, beating Altofts Reserves who remain second from the bottom. |
| 10 Mar - Result: 'Bridge 'A' Beat Bedale 'Bridge 'A' notched their eighth win of the season this afternoon with victory by the odd goal in three at third place Bedale AFC Reserves. Ben Clayton and Mark Burniston were on target in a win which consolidates Stephen Coles' side's seventh place in the Harrogate & District League Division One table.
