## Championship

[edit]

The league was won by the Dewsbury Rams. The Dewsbury Rams also reached the Grand Final and defeated Leigh Centurions, with Leigh Centurions' Mick Higham winning the Tom Bergin Trophy. The Dewsbury Rams were not promoted to the Super League however, as their stadium did not meet the minimum requirements to be accepted into the league.
