Boys eye Pennine

BATLEY Boys are one of three teams applying to move from the Yorkshire League to the Pennine League.

The Boys, plus Wakefield City and Doncaster Toll Bar, are the latest sides to have expressed an interest in making the move.

Interest in the Pennine League continues to grow with clubs in Lancashire among those keeping an eye on a league which is committed to the winter game.
