Wetherby held the record previously for the lowest total in the top tier when they were bowled out for just 16 against Bardsey in 1985.
Little Ribston A were bowled out for just nine in a Division Six fixture against Long Marston A in 2004, while Kirk Hammerton A folded for 11 in Division Five against Amaranth A in 1981.
Kirk Deighton could seal the Wetherby League crown for a first time this weekend if results go their way following a seven-wicket success over Garforth Parish Church, who were dismissed for a woeful 93 and Deighton’s Jonny Watkins crashed 48 in the leader’s comfortable chase.
