Question Time
With the North Light Physiotherapy man of the match memento tucked under an arm, Chris Laker gives to Huddersfield Examiner sports editor Mel Booth his take on the 2016 All Rounder Cricket Sykes Cup Final. Laker's unbeaten 69 at Far End Lane, Honley, helped Delph & Dobcross to a crushing win, with eight wickets and almost half their 50 overs to spare, over outclassed Drakes Huddersfield Premiership division rivals Shepley.
Victory in this 97th annual showpiece added to Delph & Dobcross's recent triumph in the league's T20 competition. With a healthy lead over title rivals Hoylandswaine and Shepley in the Premiership division, Delph & Dobcross are on course to complete a stunning clean sweep of Huddersfield League honours. This was their second Sykes Cup success. The first came in in 2012.
Match statistics: Shepley 108 off 45.1 overs (Daniel Anderson 48, Nathan Jones 4-23, Wasim Qasim 2-15, Shakir Muhammad 2-30) lost by eight wickets to Delph & Dobcross 112-2 off 26.4 overs (Chris Laker 69 not out, Shreevats Goswami 23 not out, Nasir Jamal 2-29). Delph & Dobcross won the toss and elected to bat. Admission: £3. Programme: six pages (w/a). Attendance: 550. Refreshments: mug of tea (50p).
