ELVINGTON Penguins have clinched the York and District Youth Netball League Birds' title despite a disappointing sixth-place finish in the final round of matches.

Trailing the Penguins in the final table were second-placed Haxby Eagles while Millers' Macaws finished third and Rufforth's Goldfinches fourth despite winning Saturday's final fixture.

The Birds will meet for their end-of-season tournament on Saturday, May 19 when trophies will also be presented to the league's winning teams.
