Pickering Town defeated 2-1 as Silsden crowned the champion

Omar Sanyan had Pike in front of him on a halftime stroke, but both Kale Price and Robbie Fox attacked in the second half, handing over the crown.

Visitors headed for the match knowing that Pickering would defeat, Golker would be crowned a charming champion along with fellow promotion seekers Haram.

Haram won that contest 2-0, but Cob Bidarer still had to maintain the end of Rydoll's bargain.

Pikes was aiming for his own playoff push, but the season is coming to an end with a cry as their season slipped to an eighth from the background of three consecutive defeats.

Assistant Joe Connor challenged Pickering to get their fight back after last week's defeat to Bottesford, and they just did it and led the break.

Harley Dawson tested the EDD hole with a 30-yard effort in three minutes, but on the other end he saw a shot where Luke Brooks Bank and Harry Coates were blocked by Pikes' defense.

Alfie Burnett took the first move in 30 minutes, but he acquired a strong hand in Cody Cromack's Palm Cody Cromack shot before Price nodded Wide Casey Stewart's teasing cross.

Former York City young man George Brown pushed the hall into a smart stop before the host found a breakthrough a minute before halftime.

However, Silsden soon began to grab the game by the neck burrow.

Fox was on a big head, but that was a warning that Pikes didn't pay attention, and in 65 minutes the price was converted from the corner despite the host suing handball on build-up.

Fox then settled the contest from eight minutes after his turn, squirting under the unsightly barnett and shot the final whistle title at Silsden.

Pickering hopes to ultimately thrive their league campaign when they close out the season at home with Ecclesill within two weeks.
