County star ends holders' challenge
Priestley Cup
Yorkshire fast bowler James Lee starred as a batsman as Farsley sent holders Pudsey Congs crashing out of the Priestley Cup.
Lee smashed an unbeaten 74 as he and Robert Thornton (14no) shared an unbroken last-wicket stand of 67 to snatch a one-wicket win.
Lee struck a six and 12 fours as Farsley, who looked down and out at 117-9 in reply to Pudsey Congs' score of 184-9, climbed off the canvas to deliver a stunning knockout blow.
Champions Woodlands are also out. Scotland skipper Gavin Hamilton top scored with 60 as East Bierley made 270-9 before dismissing Woodlands for 231. Left-arm spinner Luke Jarvis took 4-25.
Division One leaders Bradford & Bingley almost joined the list of casualties. They were given a mighty fright by Division Two leaders Bankfoot before emerging as two-run winners.
Eighteen-year-old opener Marcus Walmsley (103) hit his second century of the weekend for Bankfoot who were eventually bowled out for 190.
Chris Thompson (50) and James Davies (41) had helped Bradford & Bingley to a total of 192.
Yeadon defeated Division Two side Morley by seven wickets. Faisal Butt (72no) and Dan Shuffe (51no) shared an unbroken stand of 102 as Yeadon cruised past Morley's score of 163-9.
