Huddersfield League side Honley had a comprehensive victory over Yorkshire League champions York in the Black Sheep Champions Trophy.

Honley had won a record breaking fourth successive league Championship, the first team to achieve the feat in league history, the day before meeting newly crowned Yorkshire League champions York in the delayed final.

Having won the toss, York asked Honley to bat first on a not unexpectedly soft track. It looked a good toss to win when in the fifth over Neil Laidlaw had opener Matthew Cox caught for five.

Two overs later Simon Kelly was given out lbw for four. Danny Howard was brilliantly caught and bowled by Nick Kay to leave Honley struggling at 28-3 in the 14th over.

Only the stoic Michael Fraine really offered some resistance to the York Bowlers on a difficult track, eventually falling to an excellent catch by captain Marcus Wood for 41.

The only other batsmen to add significantly were Harlon Haye smashing a wonderful 35 and Captain Rob Moore with a reserved 21. Honley were eventually all out for 156 in 46.5 overs.

The York batsmen never got to grips with the difficult track and they quickly found themselves in deep trouble, reaching only 48-7 by the 15th over. Some aggressive bowling by Haye and steady medium pace by Howarth did the damage.

The enigmatic Martin Green replaced Haye &andwith his medium pace finding indifferent bounce he mopped up the tail. Only Alex Collins (17), Neil Laidlaw (15no). and Dan Wilson (11) reached double figures.

The Stan Sones Man of the Match was awarded to Harlon Haye for his 35 runs, three wickets and a superb overhead diving catch.
