Group A champions Bradford Gymkhana, had their celebrations dampened in their last game of the Bradford Mutual Sunday School League season.

A century from Mohammed Sheraz was not enough as Cambing won by five wickets, Faisal Wazier scoring an unbeaten 61.

Half-centuries from Mohammed Qadir (58) and Mohammed Majid (52) helped Bradford Property Rentals-Odsal move clear of the relegation zone and send Muff Field down to Group B after their win over Omars.

In Group B, Hallfield snatched the title away from Mayfield in the last round of matches thanks to fourth-placed Mandhata.

Azeem Khan (5-11) and Mouzam Hussain (5-27) combined as Cambing B were bowled out for only 44, Hallfield winning by six wickets.

Mayfield needed a win against Mandhata to secure the title and, after Naseem Khan had made 59 in Mayfield’s 146 for six, things looked good.

But despite Naseem also taking five for 32, Mandhata hung on for draw with 78 for nine to hand the title to Hallfield by a point.

In Group C, Buttershaw St Paul’s notched their tenth win of the season, Neil Sutcliffe scoring 51 in their 147 and Aiden Winard taking four for 12 as Cross Roads-Daisy Hill B were bowled out for 60.

Neil Hollington bagged all nine wickets as Central YMCA (79-9) hung on for a point in their game against West Bowling (115-6).
