Sheffield “2” (Div1) and Wharfedale (Div2) lead the way.

As we head into the Christmas break it is Sheffield “2” and Wharfedale who head up their respective league tables.

In the re-arranged Ossett v Castleford match in Division 1, Andrew Houlker took both frames to help the visitors into a 3-1 lead before Jason Taggart won the last two frames to salvage a draw for Ossett.

The Sheffield “1” v Leeds “1” and Brighouse v Ossett matches were held over until the new year, which left the way open for Sheffield “2” to leapfrog into top spot with a fine 5-1 away win at Rotherham. Duane Beckett and David Dalton gained maximum points for the visitors.

David Whitby, David Dalton and Jason Evans end the year tying for the top spot in the race for the MVP. Will Lemons holds the current high break with 101.

In Division 2, Wharfedale played their match against Sheffield 3 a week early, and it paid dividends as they gained a 6-0 whitewash, Gyles Behbood (56), Howard Mawson (54,68) and Andy Blamire doing the damage.

Bradford gained their first win of the season with a 5-1 home win against Huddersfield. Boover Singh and Haneef Rafiq (58) gaining maximum points.

In the division’s other match Leeds “2” kept the pressure on Wharfedale with a 4-2 victory at Harrogate, Lee Brookes proving the difference between the teams. In a high-quality match there were breaks for Kaif Shazad (51), Daniel Boyes (60) and a division-best 103 for Tom Harris.
