DAVID Lloyd York have won their first Tyke Petroleum York Men's Tennis League division one title since 2013.

Wigginton finished runners-up this term while Poppleton - who took the title for three consecutive years between 2015 and 2017 - ended the 2018 season in third.

The division one champions also had the joint-best individual performances, with Sean Evans and Dale Fawcett each winning 39 of the 41 matches they played, losing only one all season.

Rob Jones (Appleton Roebuck), Nick Turnbull (Poppleton), Andrew Davis (Harrogate Spa) and Dave Bradley (Appleton Roebuck) completed the season’s top six individual placings.

Sherburn secured a hard-fought division two title and they will be joined in the top tier next season by Copmanthorpe, who edged Fulford into second place by a single point.

The promoted pair will replace the relegated Rowntree Park and Starbeck in division one.

Wigginton II and Boston Spa were convincing winners and runners-up, respectively, of division three.

The title race in division four, meanwhile, was a thriller, with Racquets II (Harrogate) pipping Alne and Tollerton to the post by the smallest possible margin of half a point.

Division five champions are Harrogate Spa, with Strensall close runners-up.

The title honours in division six went to David Lloyd York III. Selby claimed second place, and promotion to division five, with Boston Spa II only one point behind in third.

Division seven saw York IV took the title and Wigginton IV the runners-up spot. Champions of division eight were Harrogate Spa II, narrowly holding off a challenge from Wheldrake.
