Honours have been split in other competitions this season between the two teams, with Pier winning in the Scarborough & District FA Cup and Newlands gaining victory in the Kenward Cup.

Trafalgar may still have a huge say in the title hunt, as they lie second, level on points with Newlands, but six behind Pier.

The trio are clear of the remaining sides in the league, many of whom are involved in a relegation scrap.

Heslerton are the leading contenders to drop into Division Two, as they have just one point from nine games.

At the foot, Ayton Reserves will be looking to get some points on the board in the second half of the season as they battle with Crown Tavern to avoid the wooden spoon.
