SKIPTON Knights took on one of the strongest teams in the Merit League at the weekend and came out on top. The Akkies- a well-established club who play out of Leeds Mods RUFC, just like the Knights came with a big squad but player /coach Darren Greenwood knew how key defence would be on the day. The game started with the Knights completing their sets and putting pressure on the Akkies backline. On the fifth and last kick from Josh Nkwo, the ball bounced off an Akkies player s hands and straight in to the hands of Chris Stead to powered over and Dean Barritt converted the two.

Friday morning found potter Cathryn Borer at her kitchen counter surrounded by rolling pins, sponges and plenty of ready clay. When the clay is flattened, Borer spreads an antique doilie she found in an Ohio shop years ago over its surface and lightly imprints an interesting texture on the malleable medium. It adds a distinctive feature to some of her pottery pieces.
