I’ll try but am just an outside observer They started really well and looked on course for being contenders for the one automatic promotion spot, they then had a horrendous spell losing a few games that they should have won.Ended up finishing third and into the play offs (how they work are beyond me), beat Oldham and then Hunslet yesterday that gives them home advantage in the final. They play the winner of Oldham v HunsletDewsbury were champions btw

Will it be the final final or the best of three?
Thanks for the clarification!Are they currently in the 3rd tier (of 3)?I went to the Batley away game that sent them up to the top division back in 93 or 94. I don’t imagine the Dons are anywhere near that point yet.
