CONONLEY A are the 2015 Walker Foster Division One 2015 champions after winning a close title race by eight points from Keighley A.
They won 22 of their 28 matches and also had two draws as they averaged 8.6 points per game. Their real strength was at home where they had a 100 per cent record of 14 victories and averaged 10.35 points per game.
They completed the season with a 11-1 home win over Settle A, just days after an 8-4 defeat at Sutton A threatened to derail their bid for the title.
Keighley A blew their chance with a 10-2 defeat at Gargrave A, before finishing with a 10-2 home win over Devon A, to give them 234 points, one ahead of third-placed Cross Hills A.
Last season's champions slipped away in the last four games, but did finish with two wins at home to Silsden 8-4 and away at Settle A 10-2.
Colne Cricket Club capped a good season by coming fourth. They finished with two 10-2 wins at home to Broughton Road A and away at Devon B, but a poor run at just the wrong time took them out of contention.
The average and aggregate prizes went to Andrew Tate Cross Hills A +8.18, while John Whitaker (Colne Cricket Club) lost just two games and averaged 20.68.
