Division 5
Netherton Con B and David Brown Sports are both promoted and the Netherton team are favourites for the title but need to win their last match 7-2 or better to be sure.
The most intriguing outcome rests at the top of Division 4 where Lockwood Con B have a 5-points lead over the chasing pack of three teams all level on 112 points. Marsh Lib have forced their way into the reckoning following an 8-1 away win over Lindley BC B. They have the weakest Aggregate For total of the three rivals for promotion and play the leaders Lockwood Con B in their final match who themselves need to win that match to be sure of the title.
Kirkheaton C&BC needed a 4-points aggregate win to claim the 6 points at home to Huddersfield Recreation Club and now have the best Aggregate For total of the three contenders. Marsh United B suffered a 3-6 defeat at relegation-threatened Meltham B to concede second place and the 3-points lead they had over the chasing pair.
