Buttershaw St Paul's hope to keep alive their hopes of a clean sweep of all four trophies when they meet Girlington the Central League's Waddilove Trophy final at Low Moor tomorrow (1.30).
They have already won the Thripple-ton Cup for second teams, and the first and second teams are top of their respective divisions.
Winning the trophy and returning to the First Division as champions after they were relegated last season would crown a great year for Buttershaw, who celebrated the opening of their splendid £170,000 pavilion and clubhouse in May.
Skipper Simon Lee, who presides over a new team, said: "I know we have a chance of four trophies, but it is not something we are really thinking about. The league was our priority at the start of the season and the cups were a bonus.
"With the players we have got the pressure was on to get promotion. You don't sign all the players we have and not go straight back up."
Lee, who began his career as a junior with Buttershaw before returning from Heckmondwike three years ago, has gathered an experienced squad of players, including opening batsman Stephen Potter from Lancashire, Mark Piotr from Rawdon, formerly with Hartshead Moor, Donald Holdsworth from Great Horton, Martin Kelly from Hartshead Moor, and Andy Branthwaite from Clayton.
"It's a brand new team," said Lee, "but we have gelled. Our main priority was to strengthen the bowling, but we have strengthened both and we bat all the way down to No 11. There is plenty of experience in the side and we have all played at different clubs.
"Our objective in the final will be to try to set a big score, and I imagine it will be a high-scoring game. If we bat as well as we can there could be 500 runs scored. I understand the pitch at Low Moor is playing well and it has the makings of a good final. "
Buttershaw's path to the final makes impressive reading with wins over Adwalton, Jer Lane, Thornton and Shelf, and Lee is particularly proud of the victory over First Division leaders Thorn-ton, all of which gives them confidence for the final.
Girlington, who won the Second Division championship last year and are currently third in Division One, are equally confident.
Their main strength lies in their batting and, like Buttershaw they are hoping to win the toss and post a big score. They regularly top the 200 mark in league matches.
Skipper Aziz Ur Rehman, who is doubtful after twisting his knee in their semi-final win over Laisterdyke, said: "We have some outstanding individuals and if we get the chance to bat first we will do that and try to make a big score.
"We bat all the way down the order. Nawazish Khan has scored about 600 runs, and then we have all-rounders Sajed Parvez and Irfan Kazi, our opening batsman Mohammed Haif, who is a fine stroke player, Naeem Khan, who showed in the semi-final he can bat, and Khaled Mahmood, who is an out-and-out hitter.
"The final represents the club's biggest occasion for a long time. We have never won the cup, but we are well prepared and equipped to win."
