Woodlands and Townville will be going into tomorrow's Black Sheep Yorkshire Champions' Trophy final at Hanging Heaton (12.30) on a massive high or an extreme low.

Townville could clinch the Central Yorkshire League title today for a second successive season, while Woodlands, likewise, can retain the Bradford League crown.

Opener Russell Murray, who is setting up his own business in Scotland, is saying goodbye to the Oakenshaw club tomorrow, while Lee Smith is standing down as skipper of Townville after the match.

Woodlands could be without their leading all-rounder Richard Pyrah, who is likely to be needed by Yorkshire, but the Albert Terrace club's league representative Phil Godfrey said: "We are confident that we will be happy tomorrow evening as long as we play to our potential.

"But Townville have a good overseas player in 22-year-old Bilal Hussain and a very good batsman in former Essex and Northamptonshire player Tim Walton.

"And they surprised everyone by beating Pudsey Congs in the second round."

Pakistani all-rounder Hussain, whose stature in the game has been confirmed by Woodlands' overseas player Safraz Ahmed, hammered a rapid 125 in that 62-run victory.

Meanwhile, Walton is set to be the Central Yorkshire League's leading run-scorer for the second successive season.

Godfrey added: "We know a lot of the Townville players from our Central Yorkshire League days.

"They used to have the better of us then - and that is why we signed Russell Murray from them - but hopefully that won't be the case tomorrow."

However, former Methley and Wrenthorpe captain Smith, who is standing down after two seasons at the Poplar Avenue helm, believes his side can defy the odds.

Townville have a poor record in recent finals, having lost to Streethouse and Treeton in successive Yorkshire Council Championship deciders and been beaten by Wrenthorpe in the Barry Winstanley Trophy.

However, 37-year-old Smith said: "We know we will be the underdogs against Woodlands but we have shown we have the players who can turn things round when we have been down and out.

"It might take a brilliant catch or a brilliant run out to change the game and tip the balance in our favour. We just need that bit of luck that every team needs in a final."
