Keighley had a good season last year in North Counties 1 (Yorkshire 1) and were in contention for promotion for much of the season. However, two late defeats by Bradford Salem and Pocklington dashed their chances of finishing in the top two places allowing Bradford Salem and Wetherby to gain promotion.

Keighley have two more pre-season fixtures; Halifax Vandals (15/8) and Cleckheaton (22/8). Their season opens with 2 home matches on their 3G pitch with Hullensins (7/9) and Bridlington (14/9) being the visitors. We wish them good luck for next season.
