YORK'S unbeaten run in the Yorkshire IDU Senior Golf League came to an end as they suffered a narrow 19-17 loss to Halifax & Huddersfield at Sandburn Hall.

Captain Martin Greaves' men held a narrow 7-5 advantage after the morning foursomes but lost 14-10 in the afternoon singles.

They had got off to a perfect start when Martin Brown (Pike Hills) and James Cass (Fulford) combined to beat the Bradley Hall duo of Elliot Lister and Sam Bridges 3&2.

Andy Hare (Bradley Hall) and Tom Hunt (Meltham) were 2&1 victors over Fulford's Jamie Miller and Mark Christie but the home club pairing of Rob Heath and Will Adamson were far too strong for Dewsbury's Dan Hartley and Ben Crowther.

Their 6&5 win was soon added to as Fulford's Damon Coulson and Rob Moore pulled out a half against Fergus Barron (Dewsbury) and Josh Morton (Huddersfield), and Lee Bond (Fulford) and Ollie Adamson (Pike Hills) edged past Jake Hamilton (Huddersfield) and Scott Minto (Hanging Heaton) 2&1.

Chris Lone (York) and Adrian Lount (Pike Hills) went down 3&2 to Tom Calvert (Huddersfield) and Ben Adamson (Crow Nest Park) and that set up the match perfectly for the afternoon.

However, Hartley got Halifax & Huddersfield off to a perfect start with a 2&1 victory over Brown and Bridges won by the same margin over Christie.

Cass came back from four down to grab a share of the spoils with Lister and, when Miller (2&1 over Morton) and Coulson (3&2 over Crowther) won, York looked on track.

The visitors dominated the middle section of the order, though, Hare and Hamilton beating Heath and Will Adamson 3&2 and 4&3 respectively.

Moore recovered from a late deficit to take a half from his game with Minto but, with Lone trailing in the final match, the writing was on the wall.

Bond lost 3&2 to Hunt and although Ollie Adamson (3&1 over Ben Adamson) and Lount (1 up over Calvert) both won, York's defeat was confirmed when Barron eagled the par-five 17th hole to beat Lone 2&1.
