UNDERCLIFFE Cricket Club's Josh Walker and Russell Morgan have won the Bradford Snooker Pairs Trophy for the first time.

Having overcome holders and three-time winners Gareth and Anthony Green and five-times champions Wayne Cooper and Kevin Firth in the semi-finals, Walker and Morgan finished the job by defeating Eccleshill Victoria Conservative Club's Lewis Walsh and Howard Mawson 3-0 in the final at Great Horton Conservative Club.

The youngsters, played good all-round snooker, took the first frame 98-13, Morgan clearing up with a break of 35.

In the second frame, it was Walker who made the inroads, and a timely break of 44 midway through set the path for a 79-18 win for 2-0.

Neither Walsh nor Mawson played at his best, but they weren't allowed to, with two of Bradford's brightest talents taking their chances and keeping the more experienced pair at arms length.

The third frame was very tight and looked to be heading the way of the Eccleshill pair, until Walker took an excellent final pink and black to edge it 54-53 and take the title.
