(As Otleypeople's usual rugby correspondent was away in London this week watching England vs Ireland at Twickers we bring you a report of that match instead of Otley's 22-20 home win against Redruth.

I was otherwise engaged at Twickenham, cheering on Ireland, not only last...

Hope to be at Cross Green for a game later in the year & see you all...

Otley 17 Cambridge 12 Before the game, few pundits could have given Otley much chance of victory. Cambridge lay second in the league with 27 points from 7 matches. Otley, after last week's disappointing defeat at lowly Cinderford, were languishing in 11th place, just four points above the relegation zone. Even the weather contrived to be against Otley. It poured with rain all morning and the conditions looked unlikely to favour Otley's...
