DIVISION THREE
Convoluted considerations over the destiny of the title were rendered academic by KEIGHLEY ALBION who, having gone into the final day two points clear of the chasing pack, made certain of the championship, in their first season back in the NCL, with a 23-16 victory at contenders MYTON, who had won their previous five games.
Perhaps significantly, the Warriors would have gone ahead of Albion on points difference had they themselves prevailed 23-16 – but not above Saddleworth, who edged Milford. It was as close as that!
