The race at the top of the table has been one of the most enthralling battles this season but as things stand appear to have one hand on the title.
The West Yorkshire club secured a 2-0 win at to give themselves a three point lead at the summit with just one game left to play.
Nevertheless, Farsley do have a worse goal difference than second placed South Shields and know that if they fall to defeat at relegation threatened and the Mariners come away from Gainsborough with a victory then the trophy will heading to Mariners Park.
