A mixed bag of results this weekend with the weather making an intervention along the way too. The ladies 1s and Mens 3s suffered the same fate as a waterlogged pitch in Huddersfield put paid to any competitive action on the pitch and consigned the teams to a rearranged Sunday match in the New Year in all probability.
