Dewsbury Celtic win derby to pip Shaw Cross to promotion

DEWSBURY Celtic clinched the third promotion place in the National Conference Division Two thanks to an impressive 48-10 derby triumph over Shaw Cross Sharks last Saturday.

The Sharks overcame their rivals to win the Jim Brown Heavy Woollen Cup in August but Celtic gained revenge to spark celebrations which went on long into the night at the Dewsbury Irish Nash.
