Bradford No 2’s snooker side gained a creditable draw at much-fancied Barnsley No 2 in Division Two of the Yorkshire Inter-District League.

Bradford champion Gareth Green got the side off to a great start, winning the first frame aided by a break of 74, but opponent Brett Miller is also a classy player and levelled the match with efforts of 38 and 62.

Anthony Green played an outstanding first frame against another top county player, Shaun Wilkes, to put Bradford 2-1 in front but Wilkes hit back, making a break of 61 to once more level things.

Captain Hanif Rafiq didn’t have things his own way against Paul Dunn and lost their first frame but came back with a strong final frame of the match to snatch a well-deserved draw.

The side are next in action this weekend when they are scheduled to host Brighouse No 1.

Division One defending champions Bradford No 1 are also back in action when they travel to Castleford No 1 on Sunday.

* Clayton Liberal player Jason Murgatroyd had a scare before progressing to the next round of the Bradford Snooker Championships.

In the pairs, Dean Parker and Paul Wood of Laisterdyke WMC won through thanks to a 3-0 victory over Richard Harrison and Daniel Crompton (Harold Club).

* Bradford’s Kevin Firth eased through to the last 16 stage of the English Six Reds Championship at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds, winning his group matches 4-2, 4-1, 4-1, 4-0 and 4-0.

This competition will be concluded in the new year. In the meantime, Firth takes on Matthew Samples in the English Club Players' Championship, where a win would also put him in the last 16 of that competition.

Damian Wilks has a tough tie in the competition, where he travels to Grimsby to face highly-rated Jamie Barrett.
