OTLEY'S Jason Moss has been named in Talk Rugby Union's National League Two North Team of the Season.
Moss, who has been recognised for his sterling work over the season, was picked as the tighthead prop in the front-row.
Two former Otley players made the team, Jack Blakeney-Edwards, now at Wharfedale, was selected at fly-half, and a notable mention right behind Moss at prop was Ben Bell, who now plays at Hull Ionians.
The two sides at the top of the league, Hull Ionians, who secured an immediate return to National One after clinching the league title, and Chester, who finished just four points behind in second, have two players each in the Team of the Season.
Hull’s Lewis Minikin was included as the centre ended the campaign as the division’s top points-scorer, whilst second-row Joe Makin has also been chosen.
Selected from Chester are captain Colin Campbell and No 8 Shay Owen, who is in a back-row which contains Huddersfield’s Lewis Bradley and Hinckley’s Gareth Turner.
Sedgley Park’s Bob Birtwell partners Makin at lock whilst in the front-row, Campbell and Otley’s Jason Moss are either side of Stourbridge’s Jack Lea.
In the backs, James Gough of Preston Grasshoppers and Blakeney-Edwards are at 9 and 10, respectively, whilst Morgan Passman (Tynedale), who scored 31 tries this season, and Fylde’s Tom Carleton have been selected on the wings.
