Pudsey Congs made sure of the First Division championship by beating third placed neighbours Farsley away by one wicket with five balls to spare in an exciting finish.

Terry Staniforth was top scorer with 62 as Farsley were bowled out in the last over for 203.

Congs had been in trouble at 51 for four, but they were rescued by a fifth wicket stand of 99 by top scorer Philip Higgins (72) and Ian Schmid and when they were out it was left to Graham Curtis (30no) to guide them to their narrow victory.

Second placed Hanging Heaton's slim hopes of catching Congs disappeared when they went down by three wickets at Cleckheaton. Matthew Evans guided Cleckheaton home with 56 not out after the visitors were bowled out for 163.

They were thwarted on the second day of the double weekend when bad light stopped their home match against Bradford & Bingley with the visitors on 174 for eight in reply to Hanging Heaton's 235 for five declared. Top scorers for the home side were opener Howard Ellis with 80 and Richard Mollitt (69no).

Bingley opener Sajjad Haider continued his fine form, top scoring with 66, and he did even better the day before with 83, but it wasn't enough to save his side from 41-run defeat at home to Baildon. The visitors achieved victory with eight balls to spare after bowling Bingley out for 149.

Mark Wilson produced a match winning performance as East Bierley won by six wickets at Pudsey St Lawrence. He took seven for 77 in 23 overs as Pudsey were bowled out for 207 and then scored 56 not out as Bierley reached their target with two overs to spare.

Jon Carey was another player in all-round form in Yeadon's 57-run home win over Windhill. He scored 50, putting on 64 for the sixth wicket with James Todd (65no) in Yeadon's total of 210 for eight and then took five for 32 as Windhill were bowled out for 143.

All conquering Gomersal seem set to go through their first season in the Bradford League unbeaten to crown a superb campaign.

They came close to their 19th victory when they visited near neighbours Spen Victoria, but at one stage they were struggling at 107 for six. Adam Greenwood then joined wicket keeper Matthew Wilby and they put on 62 for the eight wicket before Wilby was out for 75. Greenwood held the rest of the innings together with an unbeaten 55 to enable Gomer-sal to reach 239 for nine, Jamie Baker taking seven for 98.

Spen were in trouble from the start, losing their first five wickets for 16 runs, but hung on for a draw at 84 for eight.

Gomersal also had to settle for a four point draw at Hartshead Moor on Sunday. Opener Graham Hilton top scored with 58 in Gomersal's 186 for six, but they were denied by the home side's last wicket pair as Hartshead finished on 87 for nine.

At Bowling Old Lane the home side beat third placed Keighley by five runs thanks to a fine bowling performance from Nasser Hussain who took eight for 27 as Keighley were bowled out for 128 in reply to Old Lane's 133 for nine.
