WHARFEDALE won the pre-season Skiptens competition at Sandylands on Saturday.

After the late withdrawal of a number of sides it was agreed that the six remaining teams would compete on a league basis.

Bradford Salem, Baildon, Keighley, Old Crossleyans, Wharfedale and hosts Skipton enjoyed the opportunity to get back into action after the summer break.

Wharfedale, who had a 19-man squad to call on, topped the table after winning all of their five matches, scoring 31 tries and conceding just two.

They defeated Old Crossleyans 28-0, Keighley 48-5, Baildon 24-0, Bradford Salem 38-5 and Skipton 51-0.

Old Crossleyans were second while Keighley were third in a tournament watch by an appreciative crowd.
