 | | This first taste of the big time led the Emley committee to take the big step of applying to join the Yorkshire League, which was then the senior amateur league in the area, with a long and proud tradition of providing strong and competitive football. |
 | | Emley also won the league that season, Colne won the North-West counties and were to go on to win the Northern Premier League, before White disbanded the club in disappointment at not being accepted into the Conference, due to their ground not being big enough. |
 | | Having won the league in a tense last match against North Ferriby in front of 1200 people (an NCE record), drawing 2-2 after being 2-0 up and coasting with ten minutes left, Emley thought they would be promoted to the newly formed Northern Premier League First Division. |
