Undercliffe Cricket Club A became only the second club in the competition's history to successfully defend the Flexprint Services-sponsored HEYS TROPHY after beating Low Moor WMC A in front of a full house at Great Horton Conservative Club.

The snooker trophy was last won two years running by the Bradford City Band Club in 1953. That club is no longer in existence but they managed to win a record six times, a feat now equalled by UCC.

Conceding a 75-point start on the handicap, Undercliffe's first two players turned this around as Paul Davey and Anthony Herdsman defeated Charlie Leeson and Andy Stocks respectively.

Davey edged a nervous first frame but found his form to win the second comfortably.

Herdsman enjoyed a good win in his first frame but the second looked like going to Stocks until he missed a straightforward last pink, giving his opponent the chance to pick off the final two balls and ensure Undercliffe had a 25-point lead at the interval.

Andy Davey and Anthony Ward of Undercliffe then won their frames against Jim Britton and Chris Littlewood respectively, although neither player had all his own way on the way to securing the title.

Attention now turns to the HOPKINSON PLATE and, in billiards, the MOORHOUSE SHIELD.

In the Hopkinson semi-finals, Tong Libs B take on Manningham Ward A and Birkenshaw Libs play Low Moor Harold Club. The final will be played next Thursday at Undercliffe Cricket Club.

Bingley Conservative Club have reached the final of the Moorhouse and await the winners of the Low Moor Harold Club v Clayton Rugby Club tie.

Harvester won the inaugural BINGLEY & DISTRICT POOL LEAGUE after beating Throstles Nest 6-3 to clinch the title.

Congratulations go to Matty Wildman and the Harvester team for a great season.

The doubles KO was won by Danny Nommik and Shaun Coe after a 5-3 win over Dave Bailey and Ian Cooper in a close encounter at the Fleece in Bingley.

The singles KO final will be an all Throstles Nest affair, with Nommik going up against Chris Heaton for the crown next month.
