Pirates campaign grinds to a premature halt - Filey Today

With another Scarborough Pirates game called off on Saturday, the season has prematurely finished for the Eastway-based outfit. Having had three games already called off this season, the team finish with four unfulfilled fixtures in the 2015 Yorkshire Premier League season in what is a hugely disappointing end to proceedings following their promotion to the top flight last... Lee continued: “If we hadn’t had these games called off and could have played them, I’m 100% sure that we would have made a play-off place this season, if not gone even further. “With the league being even more summer-based, it’s hard to convince lads to play rugby instead of go on holiday or sit in beer gardens. The Pirates currently sit in third position in the Yorkshire Premier League, but are expected to slip down to fifth or sixth due to their imminent abandonments. Lee added: “It’s sad to see rugby league in the state it is, I’ve played since I was young and I’ve seen some big clubs fold in that time. Lee’s men were set to play West Hull Lions A this week, but it is the first of their remaining games to be called off.
