Crosfields and Kells became the latest National Conference League teams to confirm their promotions after games over the last week.
Crosfields defeated Beverley 52-6 last Wednesday to earn a spot in next season's Division One while Kells visited Saddleworth and won 34-6 to return to the Premier Division.
Elsewhere in Division One, Wigan St Pats won at Oulton Raiders, meaning that three of the four play-off positions are sewn up with Ince Rose Bridge, Pats and West Bowling confirmed. There is now a one-game play-off for sixth between Skirlaugh and Stanningley.
Beverley concluded a busy week for them with a hard-fought 20-18 win at Dewsbury Moor who now can't make the Division Two play-offs.
