Unfortunately no Yorkshire team have enjoyed league success this season in Evo Stik Division One North. Scarborough looked certainties for the title in August, but their season took an unexpected slide.
Ossett Albion climbed as high as third at one point and went onto finish in their highest position for years. Farsley Celtic’s poor start left them with too much to do to reach the play-offs.
