The Skipton Inter-District team is back in business tonight with a game against Huddersfield.

The re-formed team has a good chance of putting up a better performance than in recent years, but their opponents are a high-quality outfit. The home team is captained by Stephen Pickles and play at Oakworth, starting at 7pm.

Their away squad travels to Wetherton Cons under the leadership of Chris Slater with debuts being made by Brian Howson and Graham Lomax.

Lomax continued his good doubles run when he teamed up with Jason Moore, also of Cross Roads, to reach the Batley Taverners Doubles final. Sadly things went downhill from there as they lost 21-4 to Spen's Peter Jagger and Barry Firth.

Regular partner Stephen Pickles was in Blackpool qualifying for the Open Pairs Finals at Waterloo with Margaret Slater.
