TOMORROW’S final round of matches sees glory to be gained in all three divisions with the league championship at stake in Division One.
RAIN came down to wipe out the whole Aire-Wharfe programme on Saturday and there were few teams more relieved than Steeton.
STEETON are nervously looking over their shoulders after a dreadful batting display at home to Olicanian in Division Two of the Aire-Wharfe League was compounded when second-bottom Calverley won by 32 runs at Saltaire.
WITH arch-rivals and defending champions Beckwithshaw looking destined for a shock relegation, Otley appeared set for a relatively comfortable passage to their third Aire-Wharfe Division One title in five years.
OTLEY crashed to a second successive defeat and saw what looked just two weeks ago like an unassailable 27-point lead over Burley in the title race turned into a two-point deficit.
MANY Aire-Wharfe watchers will be wondering whether Otley’s defeat by Follifoot last week was just a blip on the road to their third title in five years, or the turning point for Burley to go on and snatch the championship?
OTLEY’S seemingly smooth passage to the Aire-Wharfe League championship hit a pothole in the form of Follifoot and gave Burley’s hopes of snatching the Division One title a massive boost.
