Hide AdIf he can keep this team together then they won’t struggle in Division One next year.
With a couple of new recruits, don’t rule them out as surprise challengers for the Division One title.
Westgate seconds were held to a draw at Cartmel Park and a single point next week against Shireshead seconds will secure second place.
A pointless defeat on the other hand would allow the Forton club to leapfrog both Holme, who finished their season with a 17-run win against Ingleton, and Westgate.

Davies then batted through the Cartmel innings for 76 not out, receiving good support from Chris Tuson (13 from 48 balls) and last man, Joe Atkinson, as Cartmel finished on 158/9 to secure a draw.
Rob Pearcy (38) and a personal best from Owen Russell (33 not out) took Carnforth seconds to 159/8.
It was never likely to be enough on Peter Robinson’s manicured pitch but it needed a superb 82 not out from 107 balls by Bob Simpson, with good support from Liam Ivison (39) to give Coniston a two-wicket win as 18 year old Isaac Barlow impressed with 5/40.
With a second team finishing as runner up, only one side will be promoted from DivisionTwo, and a maximum of one side relegated.

Hide AdThat team is unlikely to be Bare who under the leadership of Richard Neville have fought tooth and nail this season to get the best out of their small squad.
On Saturday, Archit Bhadwaj (45) top scored in 146/7 against Burneside, Nathan Chambers taking 3/24. Ethan Elwood scored 42, but Mat Cook (5/34) and Robbie White (3/30) took the Powder House Lane team to a 33-run win.
Silverdale couldn’t upset the odds against champions, Carnforth and are 13 points adrift at the bottom.
Only Jonty Moeckell (26 not out) made double figures as Darren Nelson’s 3/23 helped bowl them out for 76, a total that was passed for the loss of three wickets, Chris Parry making 30 not out.

Hide AdShireshead openers, Tom Jacques and Joe Cunliffe added 155 for the first wicket against Arnside, but both fell heartbreakingly short of making hundreds.
Jacques was caught and bowled by Jim Crawford for 99, and Cunliffe fell for 96, four short of a maiden hundred.
The score of 238/2 was too much for Arnside and although Nobby Lee (41) and Adam Richardson (77) rolled back the years in a 95-run partnership, Dave Jack’s season’s best 7/29 meant Shireshead won by 81 runs.
Tony Barrow (26) top scored before being brilliantly run out by Liam Parkinson, but Sam McClements took 5/48 for Heysham dismissed Warton for 119.
