Highdale C will be delighted with the impact new signing Chris Kendall has made on their Bradford League season so far.

University student Kendall, from Halifax, has played in five of Highdale's seven Division Two matches and has won all his 15 sets while guiding the team to second place.

The 18-year-old's latest treble came at Fastbats A, although Brian Birbeck almost became the first player to spoil Kendall's perfect record when losing 11-9 in the decisive fifth game.

Gary Foster won twice and Geoff Barnes added one victory in a 7-3 victory for Highdale.

The bottom four teams in Division Four are separated by just nine points and they were in opposition in the latest round of matches.

Hermits E are at the foot of the table and they were pipped 6-4 by Embassy C, for whom Derek Briggs was unbeaten while Clive Sherratt supplied two wins and Steve Crossland one.

There was also a close encounter between Highdale D and Rastrick, who looked on course for their first victory as Terry Bostock and Mick Whitham both won twice and Ronnie Maystone came from two games down to pip Mark Jessop.

Rastrick led 5-3 but the ever-reliable Bob Underwood rescued Highdale with three singles and the doubles with Allan Miles-Turner as honours finished even.

One of the youngest teams in the league are Unity E and they registered their second Division Six success of the season with a 7-3 victory over Fastbats H.

Michael Whittaker took the individual honours for Unity with three singles, while Craig Chambers earned two singles and brother Mark added one. Fellow youngsters Scott McGowan and James Gilmartin claimed the three Fastbats sets.
