YORK, favourites for the HPH York Vale League division four title, won the Graham Headley Memorial Cup on Sunday, in emphatic fashion.
They crushed a young Heworth II side by 184 runs at Acomb and will make it a double by sealing promotion if they beat Ovington II at York RI’s New Lane ground this weekend.
York powered their way to 223-5 based on a 114-run fourth-wicket partnership between Kalum Ahmed (67no) and Kevin Mendham (67). Matthew Fairburn was the most successful Heworth bowler with 2-27.
Only Jamie Ingham (17no) could stand up to York’s rampant bowling attack as Heworth were blown away for just 39. In-form Richard Proctor took 3-10, Ahmed 2-5 and Ben Williams wrapped up the innings with two wickets in three balls.
Tomorrow sees the Guy Mitchell Cup final between Stockton & Hopgrove and Burn at Selby.
