A couple of wagers to start the weekend with the possibility of at least one more tomorrow, I'm just waiting for some team news and a weather check.

York +8 v Keighley 3pts@1.91 with supersoccer

York did me a favour last weekend when running up 50pts in victory at Swinton and I feel I've got to keep faith with them here. As I said last week I feel that York have turned the corner after a shaky start. This week may well tell us more as they face the league leaders. Keighley scraped a win at home to Rochdale last weekend and their lofty position is flattering. Although they have improved tremendously this season I still don't have them as a top 3 side and I feel there's been a touch of looking at the league table when compiling this handicap. Make no mistake about it, Keighley will be delighted to come away with even the narrowest of wins and a home victory would be no surprise to me. I had this as Keighley by 2pts.

Blackpool +14 v Hunslet 3pts@1.91 with bet365

Afraid you may have to be quick with this one as bet365 are notorious for changing the handicaps even after taken a very small wager from the right face.
This fixture pitches together two poor teams and for me the start looks very big. Hunslet have been shocking for much of the season but from nowhere produced a winning performance at Rochdale . They then returned to type with a biggish home defeat to Gateshead . Blackpool themselves have thrown in the odd good performance especially when pushing Oldham close a fortnight ago. Losing Martin Gambles to Whitehaven is a blow but I still feel they aren't too bad an outfit and can keep this one close. I had this as Hunslet by 6pts.
