The Bradford Snooker Championship final will be a repeat of the T&A Amateur Challenge.

Howard Mawson (Regal) beat Wayne Cooper (Club-house In Cue Gardens) 2-1 last month for the right to meet six-times world champion Steve Davis over a frame at the Richard Dunn Sports Centre the following Saturday.

And Cooper and Mawson will square up again for the Bradford title on Friday, April 28 at Lilycroft WMC (7.45) over the best-of-seven frames.

Cooper had good breaks in each of the frames he won in defeating fellow former champion Sajid Khan (Top Cues) 4-1 in their semi-final at Lidget Green Con Club.

Khan was leading 35-18 in the first, only for Cooper to win it with a 58 break, and a 75 gave him the second 86-10.

Cooper trailed all the way in the third, losing it 75-52, but a mid-frame 39 brought him the fourth 63-26, and a 52 and a 38 gave him the fifth 90-17.

Mawson - the only man to win the T&A Trophy twice - took his semi-final 4-0 at the same venue against Paul Benn (Clubhouse In Cue Gardens).

Cooper is also involved in the semi-finals of the Derek Seabrook-sponsored Bradford Snooker Pairs on Saturday at Great Horton Con Club (7.30).

He partners Kevin Firth (Wibsey Cons) against Paul Young and Andy Kirk (Victoria Cons).

The other semi-final between Eddie Ratcliffe and Danny Peel (East Ward Labour) and Richard Brooke and Brian Mullaney (Lilycroft WMC) will be played simultaneously at the same venue.

The first Bradford final is tonight - the E Rosse Hopkinson Plate Team Snooker tournament between Wibsey Libs A and Undercliffe Cricket Club B at Lidget Green Con Club (7.45).

Tomorrow Richard Lodge (Lidget Green WMC) and Paul Devitt (Eastbrook Sports & Social) face each other in the Bradford Billiards Champion-ship final (for the Yorkshire Sports Trophy) at Lilycroft WMC (7.45). The match is 500-up.

Lilycroft WMC play in next week's first final - the Moorhouse Shield Team Billiards tournament against Eccleshill WMC at Great Horton Con Club on Wednesday (7.45).
