Keighley cricketers make history on Sunday, when they become the first all-amateur team to play in the final of the Heavy Woollen Cup.

Now they aim to go one better and beat Bradford League first division side Baildon in the re-arranged game at Liversedge.

Captain Richard Robinson, who was playing with Baildon last year, could be the one to upset his former team mates. To add to the atmosphere former Keighley player Paul Spragg will be in the Baildon line-up.

"We are expecting a lot of support at the match. There are still a few places on the bus we are running to the game, and I know many more people will be travelling by car," said club secretary Michael Parker.

Lee Gordon (right) was due to miss the game when it was first planned, but he has returned from the Keighley Rugby Union Colts team's tour of South Africa and will take his place in the team. Second team captain Jamie Robinson, who was due to take his place, is a replacement.

Mark Beckett, who is on the ground staff at Lord's, is on duty when Yorkshire take on Somerset in the final of the C&G Trophy tomorrow. But he is planning to race straight back to Keighley after that game to be ready to take his place in Sunday's cup line-up.

"After the rain took its toll on the original date for the final everything went a bit flat, but the players were down at the ground on Tuesday night and they are really fired up for thematch.

"The midweek weather forecast was quite good and everyone is looking forward to the game, Mr Parker said.

n The Keighley Cup final between Silsden and Cullingworth is due to bring the curtain down on the season. It will now be played at the Keighley CC ground on September 15, starting at noon.
