Dunnington Cricket Club hosted the final of the Yorkshire Inter Leagues Competition, which is sponsored by the Costcutter Supermarkets Group.

The Yorkshire ECB Premier League won by 50 runs against opponents the South Yorkshire League.

Yorkshire got off to a good start until Andy Simpson (Hull) was adjudged run out with the score at 70.

John Inglis (Harrogate) powered on for 72 which earned him the man of the match award.

Several batters got to the 20s but batting was not considered easy on a pitch which, after recent heavy rain, was considered slow and lacking in bounce.

Thus the final Yorkshire total of 194 was a fair target. Lesroy Weekes (4-34) was the most successful South Yorkshire bowler.

Things looked good for Yorkshire when Tom Glover (Castleford) dismissed Steve Foster and Jason Meadows in his opening spell.

However, Tim Farmer (67) was in good form and, with Garry Yates, threatened to take the game in hand until the latter fell to the game's only lbw decision. With only 80 runs required off 22 overs, South Yorkshire only had to support Farmer to secure victory - but Yorkshire's reserve bowlers proved equal to the task.

John Randerson (Castleford) made the initial inroads with 3-15 including Farmer.

Then Steve Clark (Collegiate) cleaned up with 4-33 to see South Yorkshire losing their last seven wickets for only 34 runs.

Dunnington chairman Joe Haigh presented the Costcutter Trophy to winning captain Andrew Bourke (Castleford).
