Denholme target fifth title on trot

5:45pm Tuesday 19th August 2008

By Sports Desk »

Windhill will be the hosts as the Bradford Evening League prepare for their play-offs on Bank Holiday Monday.

The first game will be between Division One champions Taurus Sports and Kumon Centre, who enjoyed a successful debut season in the competition by claiming runners-up spot in Division Two.

Taurus will no doubt be hoping overseas star Kashif Naveed is available, as he has proved a dangerous threat with both bat and ball.

But Kumon deserve to be treated with respect as skipper Mahesh Patel, Manish Patel and overseas player Atul Ranade have all enjoyed a good season.

The second game features Division One runners-up Denholme against Division Two champions Jer Lane.

Denholme may have lost some key players but they will still be a force to be reckoned with and certainly have experience of rising to the occasion as they have won the Les Benson Trophy for the last four years.

Andrew Pinfield will look forward to leading a strong Jer Lane side, no doubt hoping for strong contributions from – amongst others – himself and Jason Gelder.

The first game starts at 11am, with the second due to take place at 1.30pm. The final will then be between the two winning teams.
