THREE of the Airedale Wharfedale Team Cup Competitions were concluded on Sunday, all three being held at Yeadon Park Bowling Club green.

In the first final Shipley beat Farsley to take the Jennings Crackles Trophy for this year. The referee for this match was N Cooper and the trophy was presented by league chairman Harry Wise, who thanked all who had helped to provide the facilities.

The second final saw Wharfemeadows beat Salts BC for the Salts Trophy which was presented by Brian Jones, the league fixture secretary.

The third final was the Dobson Challenge Shield when Menston beat Greenbottom, the presentation being undertaken this time by John Thompson, the league competition secretary.

The Yorkshire County Parks teams involved in the British Parks Crown Green Championships were in action on Sunday.
