Bradford Sunday Alliance League side Prospect overpowered Commercial Esholt to win the Bradford & District FA Sunday Cup final 4-1 in an entertaining match at Thackley.

Commercial, who won the Wharfedale Division One League Cup earlier in the season, had the first clear-cut chance when a spectacular overhead kick by Martin Maude grazed the crossbar.

Only good goalkeeping by Gino Di Pietro stopped Prospect from going in front but, after 25 minutes, Jason Butters was brought down in the area and Danny Backhouse made no mistake from the penalty spot.

Twelve minutes later, Gareth Smith doubled the lead to give Prospect a two-goal cushion at the interval.

Butters headed in to make it 3-0 before Paul Clarke pulled a goal back for Commerical.

But it was no surprise when Butters lobbed the keeper to give Prospect double reason to celebrate after lifting the Division 2A championship.
