Dinnington, meanwhile, ended a tough Yorkshire Two campaign out of harm’s way despite a 26-20 home reverse to Hemsworth last Saturday.

The Lodge Laners finished fifth bottom thanks in part to a haul of 19 bonus points, the highest tally of any team in the division, including promoted Wath.

In Yorkshire Three, Rotherham Phoenix signed off with a 30-5 home loss to Halifax Vandals but still finished a creditable fifth in their first season up after promotion.

Wath, meanwhile, take on Kevesten, from Lincolnshire, in the first round of the end-of-season Counties 2 National Cup at Moor Road on Saturday (3pm).
