Yeadon face last-day promotion decider

8:30am Thursday 13th September 2012 in Sport By Alan Birkinshaw, Weeklies Sports Editor

Yeadon face a JCT600 Bradford League Division Two promotion decider at Morley on Saturday.

If they win and secure 16 points they will clinch the championship, pipping Bail-don who have finished their programme by one point.

However, if Yeadon are defeated, Morley can pip them for promotion.

Currently Baildon have 300 points, Yeadon (285) and Morley (277).

The match between Yeadon and Morley should be a highly-competitive encounter.

Yeadon produced a solid performance last Saturday to defeat Great Horton by 140 runs.

Two of their old-heads, Damon Gormley and James Goldthorp showed good form with the bat.

Gormley made an unbeaten 68, and Goldthorp (49no).

Goldthorp’s teenage son Callum (51) and Tariq Meh-boob (39) were the other main contributors to a score of 269-4.

Great Horton struggled in reply against the accurate Yeadon attack.

Oliver Halliday continued his good form with 6-64 while Nick Hudson (3-15) again chipped in with useful wickets. He took 3-15.

Now Yeadon will be hoping their key players can produce the goods in Saturday’s promotion decider.
