Saturday is a big day at Percy Road (though perhaps not quite as big as last Friday) as Pocklington play their final league game of the 2021-22 season against Heath (3.00 pm), with the main event being preceded by a curtain raiser at 1.00 pm between a Pocklington Merovingians XV and an Ampthill touring side.
Pock's 2021-22 campaign got underway with a cliffhanger at Heath back on September 4 when the home side edged it 16-15, but only after a twice taken conversion and last ditch tackle. Seven months on and Heath come to Pocklington looking for a win to seal promotion, while Pocklington will be hoping to repeat their recent good form against the rest of the division's top teams.
Ampthill's tourists are a lower side from the Bedfordshire Championship club and are making a first visit to Pocklington. In addition to cobbling together a mixed Meros XV, Pocklington Panthers and Pilgrims are both away in East Yorkshire merit semi finals - the Panthers are at BP Chemical (meet 12.45, ko 3.00), while the Pilgrims cross the Humber to Barton (meet 12.30, ko 3.00).
On Sunday Pocklington Colts play their last game together when they entertain Roundhegians, ko 11.30 am.
While Saturday is the last first team league game it is not the end of Pocklington's season. The annual dinner and awards night is next Friday 29 April in the clubhouse, and on Sund, ko 2.30 pm.ay 1 May Pocklington 1st XV meet a Pocklington President's XV.
