Jer Lane picked up two of the major honours in the Foster’s Halifax League averages.

Sam Wilson, who moved from Clayton last winter, topped the bowling awards and Graham Sivyer was the leading wicket-keeper.

The consistent Wilson took 56 wickets at an average 12.55 to finish clear of Sowerby Bridge’s Ashton Richardson (49 at 15.84) in the Premier Division bowling charts.

The champions’ other major signing for 2014, spinner Simon Collins from Bradshaw, finished third with 35 wickets at 16.63 and he and Wilson were major figures in Lane’s successful title defence.

Richard Laycock pipped his older brother Robert, also of Booth, for the batting prize.

Promoted Queensbury’s spin pair Amjad Ali (47 at 12.98) and Girdev Singh (48 at 15.23) were first and third among the bowlers in Division One, split by champions SBCI’s Tom Wood (36 at 13.61).

Northowram Hedge Top had the leading two batsmen in Chris Conroy (548 runs at 42.15) and Kier Litjens (403 at 40.30).

Division Two table-toppers Bridgeholme had the top batsman in Bobby Fielden (412 at 41.20) and leading bowler in Saj Mahmood (38 at 9.21).
