Three clubs in addition to wooden spoonists Cygnet have applied to join York Sunday Afternoon Football League in time for next season.

Heworth, Brayton and Highwayman Inn, Sheriff Hutton, are all seeking election to the league at the league's annual meeting, while Cygnet want to be re-elected having finished bottom of the pile last term.

Central Science Laboratory FC, who finished one place above Cygnet, have decided not to seek re-election.

For the first time in the league's history the season ended with the league having the same number of clubs that had started the campaign, with ten teams in each of the three divisions.

Member clubs will vote on the league constitution at the annual meeting on Monday, June 18, at the Civil Service Club, Boroughbridge Road, Acomb, starting at 8pm. The management committee will also be elected.
