Yorkshire League – Sheffield retain division 1 title; Olicana & Thirsk promoted

Yorkshire League – Sheffield retain division 1 title; Olicana & Thirsk promoted

On an exciting final day of the Yorkshire League season Sheffield A narrowly defeated their closest rivals York A, to retain the division 1 title.    Olicana Legates and Thirsk were promoted.   We believe this is the first time in the history of Yorkshire League that Thirsk have reached the first division, a remarkable achievement for one of the county’s smaller clubs.   Congratulations to all the divisional winners and promoted teams.   You can read more about the conclusion of YL 2024-25 in a report under the Leagues tab.
