  • Whitworth and Michael Savage Cups

    The two main cup competitions within the league are the Whitworth Cup and the Michael Savage Trophy. The Whitworth Cup was open to just the top 16 teams in the league, but that has now been reduced to 8, a First round, Semi-Finals and The Final. The Mick Savage trophy was open to the 2nd XI's of the teams in the Whitworth Cup. However it seems that the format of this will change after the change in the format for the 2008 for the Whitworth Cup.


    The League is one of the 4 that provides the 8 teams for the Yorkshire Council's Premier League and Division One Play-Offs.
