Woodlands may have done the double over Pudsey Congs in the Bradford League but they will be taking no heed of that as they bid to win the Sovereign Health Care Priestley Cup final for the first time tomorrow.

"This is another game," said Woodlands secretary Brian Pearson of the showdown at Bradford & Bingley, "and if anything, what has happened in the league will fire Congs up even more. They will see this as pay-back."

Woodlands' three-wicket victory at the Britannia Ground in May and the thrilling one-run triumph earlier this month at Albert Terrace may have turned the league title race into a three-way fight between tomorrow's finalists and East Bierley.

But the contests are a "two-off", if you like, as far as Woodlands are concerned.

Pearson missed the encounter earlier this month as he was abroad, but said: "I understand that Matthew Doidge (Congs' captain) kept them in the dressing room for quite a while afterwards."

Woodlands were dismissed for 63 in the 25 overs-a-side contest, and Pearson added: "Congs must have thought they were going to win during the interval between the innings.

"Our skipper Tim Orrell's team talk centred around the feeling that they had let the spectators, officials and themselves down with their batting and to go out and make a fight of it. And our bowlers Safraz Ahmed and Pieter Swanepoel did that, with two of Swanepoel's catches in the slips being superb, and one in particular being of Test-match quality.

"We got two early wickets and Congs were always under pressure on a day of superb fielding, but Chris Brice and Paul Winrow were saying at practice this week that it was one of those games where Congs must have always felt they were going to win - even when they were 57 for seven because they bat so far down."

Pearson reckons that big-hitting Pakistani Ahmed owes his side an innings, and Doidge must be hoping it doesn't come tomorrow.

Congs' skipper admitted that he doesn't think about that one-run defeat any more, but he did give his rivals a large pat on the back when he said: "They are the best equipped cup side for bowling in the league.

"They have someone decent to turn to if one of their bowlers has an off day, and they also bat deep."

While Woodlands are confident that Yorkshire will release Richard Pyrah for tomorrow, Congs are far less certain that county colleague Chris Silverwood will be fit or even released after his hamstring trouble.

And Congs are already without opening batsman Scott Cunningham for the rest of the season after he injured a cruciate ligament playing football last week.

The in-form Bradley Parker is likely to open the innings with Andy Bethel, although Doidge said that could depend if Congs batted or bowled first.

While Woodlands are bidding for a first win in their third successive final appearance - they lost to Congs last year by eight wickets at the Britannia Ground - Congs have also won the cup in 1994 and 2002, being runners-up in 1998.
