Going into the game one point behind reigning champions Fryston, the Pontefract-based Chequerfield knew a win would seal the championship as it was their opponents’ final league game of the season.

A draw would also have suited Chequerfield as they still had a game left after this one, but there was no settling for a point as they hit the goal trail to record a convincing victory.

Fryston, who have led the table for most of the season, did not have their cause improved as Josh Blackmore was sent-off for two yellow card offences.

Defeat was tough on them as they have only suffered two league defeats all season and have defended the title won last year strongly throughout.

But Chequerfield have also enjoyed a terrific season with just one loss and 13 wins in their 15 matches. They were the stronger on the day and will now be looking to defend their crown next season.
