HOYLANDSWAINE will join Honley in the top flight next season after Ryan Copley carved out another massive innings, this time hitting 175, as the Barnsley side topped 300 in beating Thongsbridge.
And that sealed both the runners-up spot in the Frank Platt Championship Two table, as well as the Schweppes Trophy for the best results over the last six games.
Honley had already been crowned Championship champions and their victory over Holme Valley neighbours Holmfirth, with Joe McNamara scoring 75 and Allan Cawtherty 55, ended the latter’s hopes of going up.
The other issue decided on the final game of the season involved Clayton West winning promotion from the Cedar Court Conference Two behind champions Cawthorne.
To confirm their promotion Clayton had to get something out of their game against the divisional winners, and they made sure of that with Will Lockwood scoring 84,and Dale Baxter 66 in a a 270-7 total, before Simon Thornhill took four for 16.
Kirkheaton will be going down into the Conference, while Micklehurst, who finished bottom, are coming out of the League and returning to the Saddleworth stable. Their place in Conference Two next season will be taken by new boys Cumberworth.
