With six fixtures remaining Stanningley are four points clear at the top of the table, but have played more games than many of their rivals.

The top-two will be promoted with the sides from third to sixth playing-off to join them in Division One next year. Jack Smith and Ash Yarrow are back in contention for Stanningley and coach Jordan Lilley said: “From one to 17 we were outstanding against East Leeds last week so we hope to continue that form against a tough Dockers side.”
