United had already clinched the title for the first time in their history but Shelf FC, the deposed champions, needed a win to pip Sowerby Bridge to the runners-up berth.

They did that in a bad-tempered game in which a player from each side was dismissed.

The penultimate match of the league programme had taken place in Division Three last Wednesday.

Hebden Royd Red Star Reserves were 3-2 winners away to runners-up Shelf FC Reserves with Sean Mayall (two) and Jim Crowther scoring for Star and Ben King and Daniel Marsden for the hosts.
