Twin heroes as Bradford open with an away win

Posted: June 5, 2006

Bradford had twin heroes as they finally opened their Joe Lumb Competiition campaign with a five wicket win over East Yorkshire at Driffield.

The Pudsey St Lawrence twins Tim and Tom Dalton shared the spotlight as Bradford triumphed with two overs to spare.

Tim was the first to make his mark when he took four for 23 as East Yorkshire made 203 for nine batting first. But not to be outdone, Tom dominated with bat by making a determined 85 as Bradford judged their run chase well.

Bradford & Bingley's Scott Etherington was another to catch the eye. He made 47 not out after earlier taking one for 29 in nine overs.
