However, the scrap for honours is between Calder and Ryburn, who meet at Ripponden next Wednesday.

Ryburn kept their hopes alive with a 5-0 home win over Copley United last night with the help of two goals from Bradley Waddington.

If they win their last three games they could pip Calder on goal difference.

Brighouse Sports beat Elland United 3-1 in their quest to finish runners-up to Division One champions Illingworth St Mary’s, who also won last night.
