Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington's rugby sides were all at home on Saturday.
Arguably, Whitby needed a win more than any of our local sides after a difficult campaign in Durham & Northumberland Division Two.
An emphatic 50-10 win over fellow strugglers North Shields put the White Leys Road outfit a point from safety.
Scarborough were denied by a single point in an epic contest at Silver Royd in North One East.
Faced by a strong Morpeth side, Matty Jones' men overturned a deficit just before the break to go in 13-10 up, but eventually lost out 28-27 after a dramatic second period.
Head Coach Jones spoke to club Media Officer Charlie Hopper after the game:
Bridlington's rise continues, however, in Yorkshire One.
Fourth-placed Brid thumped Beverley 46-15 at Duke's Park to stay on the heels of the top three.
