Harrogate Rugby Club won promotion to the National League 2 North at the first attempt last weekend.
The club defeated Driffield 45-27 to secure top spot in the Regional 1 North East league by two points.
A four-try haul by Kristan Dobson helped Harrogate to victory in a game which was held at Driffield due to an unplayable pitch at both Rudding Lane and Knaresborough.
The result saw Harrogate clinch the title and earn promotion back to the National League 2 North after suffering relegation last season.
It will see the club take on the likes of Sheffield Tigers, Otley and Hull next season.
Following the victory, the club said in a statement:
“Congratulations should go to all 41 players who represented the team during the season, and to the coaches, support staff and supporters who made this possible.”
