Bradford Moor battled back from the disappointment of missing out on the Bradford Scratch League Division One Championship by lifting the Team Championship at Bingley St Ives.

Jubilant club captain Philip Cragg said: "This win made up for not winning the Scratch League title. It was a great performance - we put in an excellent score.

"When we returned to our club with the trophy, there was a magnificent round of applause from our members. A couple of bottles of champagne were cracked open.

"The trophy will be engraved and put up on the wall."

Bradford Moor lost the top division title to West Bradford by a single point to finish runners-up for the second successive year.

But at Bingley, they were unstoppable and returned a four man team total of 583 over the 36 holes played. Cragg said: "Afterwards West Bradford were very nice in the things they said about Bradford Moor."

Led by Bradford team captain Neil Harker-Bell and backed up by Dean Wright, Chris Suddards and Ian Helliwell, the winners finished seven shots clear of St Ives and 11 clear of third-placed West Bradford.

Home club member Richard Wheatley took the individual honours with rounds of 68, 69 for a five under par total of 137, one ahead of Harker-Bell who shot 67, 71.
