PICTURE GALLERY: Pontefract RUFC preserve unbeaten home record to close in on leaders

Pontefract RUFC managed to beat Storm Eunice by being able to stage their home game at the weekend and also beat opponents Roundhegians in convincing style.

A 38-15 victory saw Pontefract move up to second place in Yorkshire One with leaders Old Crossleyans in their sights as they play them next.

Ponte, who are unbeaten at home, did well to get the game on despite the wet weather. Their first team pitch was deemed unplayable, but the match was moved to the top pitch at Moor Lane, which, considering the torrential rain beforehand, was in excellent condition.

For a match report on the game see Thursday's edition of the Pontefract & Castleford Express, but here's a selection of pictures from the match, captured by photographer Jonathan Buck.
