Hull City, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United well-represented in Yorkshire Team of the Week

Just as the first week of March was stellar for Yorkshire clubs, the second was pretty lousy in truth, with one or two notable exceptions.

The best win of last weekend saw Sheffield Wednesday triumph 3-0 at Plymouth Argyle - making a mockery of the fact that Home Park was a supposed bogey ground - and they lead the parade in our latest Yorkshire Post Team of the Week with four player nominations.

They are followed by Championship rivals Hull City, who claimed an excellent point at Bristol City and Sheffield United, who maintained their Premier League push with victory against Paul Heckingbottom’s Preston.
