Ilkley RFC 1st XV vs Driffield 1st XV, 24th February 2024

Ilkley 1st XV vs Driffield 1st XV (eventually) - 24th February 2024 

Having missed the previous Ilkley RFC home game I was certainly going to make the most of this one which had previously been postponed several times due to bad weather and I did.

The weather was good with a glint of sunshine and we arrived at the ground in plenty of time to get a parking place then stroll into Ilkley for coffee with a delicious slice of  cake then a stroll back to the ground to prep the camera equipment ready for an action packed game.

Ilkley RFC, Ex Players Lunch, Legends. 4th December 2021

Unfortunately was not able to photograph the ex players attending the lunch but I did manage to photograph 'legends' in the making at the league (North One East) game which followed, Ilkley vs Malton and Norton.

Once again the weather was not on my side, overcast and rain and as I prefer to photograph from the touchline near the action and away from the distractions and restrictions of the stand I anticipated a soaking so dressed accordingly but even so it was not enough and at half time I had to call it a day, hoping that when I arrived home and edited the results there would be a reasonable collection of acceptable photographs.

Managed to rescue enough to post to my website Ruggerpix plus a couple for the Ilkley Gazette to accompany the club scribes match report. If you didn't manage to get to the match then read the report, it is 'a thriller'.
