First Division champions Harrogate Squash, who finished five points ahead of Ilkley to take last season's title are finding the going tough this term.

At half way they are 30 points adrift of leaders Chapel Allerton.

The current title holders are four places from the bottom. Harrogate Squash II, however, are poised in third place, five points behind Adel and 12 adrift of Chapel Allerton.

Knaresborough need a major revival in the second half of the season if they are to escape relegation from Division One. They have registered just one victory in 11 matches following promotion last season. Collingham occupy the other relegation hot spot.

Meanwhile Otley, relegated last season, look set to bounce back with a clear lead over Ilkley III in Division Two.
