Four Cumbrian sides are involved in National Conference League action tomorrow as the season draws to a close.
In the Premier Division Wath Brow Hornets are already certain to finish fourth whatever happens in their final game at home to relegated Wigan St Patrick’s.
Kells are also at home to Thatto Heath Crusaders and safe from relegation whatever happens.
Their final game is away next week at Wigan St Patrick’s, who finish off against the two Cumbrian sides but can’t save themselves from the drop.
All of which means that next season Cumbria will once again have three teams in he Premier Division with Egremont’s automatic promotion confirmed last week.
The Gillfoot club was celebrating after a 26-24 win at Heworth in their final game confirmed second-place and a quick return to the top flight.
Barrow Island can keep their season going into the play-offs if they win at Saddleworth Rangers tomorrow but the battle for a place in the top six is still intense.
Shaw Cross Sharks and Woolston Rovers will definitely be involved but the final two places rest between Wigan St. Judes, Normanton Knights, Barrow Island, Dewsbury Celtic and Saddleworth.
Seaton Rangers complete a disappointing second season in Division Three with a trip to Drighlington.
This time last year they were competing in the play-offs. This time round they need a win to avoid finishing bottom of the table.
