There were contrasting fortunes for several clubs in Round One of the Clarkson Cup when all three Sutton teams were eliminated in one night whilst Devon A, B and C all progressed to the last sixteen on June 23.

Devon A narrowly defeated Colne Legion A after Roy Sanderson recorded his first ever 'draw' in forty years of playing. Cononley A hammered Whins A without having a loser and now meet Lund A who did well to beat Broughton Road A.

Also completing a whitewash were Oakworth who defeated Keighley C with Alan Kyle and Roy Littlewood recording 21-1 wins.

Also through are Steeton A, Cross Hills A, Howarth, SPF B and a strong Keighley B team.

A remarkable 11-1 victory by SPF A against Broughton Road A sees them only three points behind leaders Keighley A in the Skipton League Division One Table.

The Skipton Inter-District team had a slight setback on Friday with a 13-8 defeat by Huddersfield. There was a good performance at Cononley with five winners but only Wick Walsh won away. Next match is on July 4.

The Veterans also performed adequately against Wakefield but lost both legs narrowly especially at Keighley Bs where Donald Varley and Geoff Smith recorded good wins. Next match is on June 20.

The qualifying rounds of the Skipton Veterans' handicap are at Lund Park and Whins Wood today (Friday) at 2.00. With the finals on June 27.

Cross Roads progressed to Round Two of the Yorkshire Cup proving far too good for Batley Taverners and they will be joined by Devon. Oakworth were well beaten by Armley Conservatives. Broughton Road also progressed in the Henry Taylor Cup. Next rounds on June 28.

Brian Duncan (Preston) has qualified for the Ryecroft Trophy final on August 10, ensuring another full house for Broughton Road.
