BEING a proud Bradfordian, and also an adopted Yorkie for nigh on 50 years, and also a devout rugby league fan, the current duel for automatic promotion between Bradford Bulls and York City Knights is great fun.

The day after York’s marvellous win at Odsal showed the depth of support for James Ford’s gallant youths, supporters, ex-players, and the usual mickey takers made my continual struggle with that little white ball at Forest Park Golf Club even more arduous than normal with their glee at reminding me of the score.

I would have been disappointed if it had not been thus.
