Bay close to title double

BAY ATHLETIC went perilously close to completing a title double in the West Riding County Amateur League.

While the first team secured a record fourth successive Premier Division title, Bay Reserves were just two points shy of champions Littletown in Division I. Lepton took Division II ahead of Storthes Hall Reserves, while Marsden Reserves finished runners-up to Albion in Division III.
