Hipperholme & Lightcliffe High School under 14s held their nerve to beat Bradford Grammar School by one wicket and claim their place in the Yorkshire Cup semi final.
Luke Cole clean bowled Walker for eight and Misra soon followed, leg before to Alex Mellor, to reduce Bradford to 14 for two.

Some excellent batting from Watkin and Johnston led the visitors out of trouble as they reached 102 for two off 20 overs
before Danny Cole got one to turn from outside off stump and ripped out Watkin's off stick.

Cole removed Johnston two balls later for 27 as Bradford slipped to 106 for four with nine overs remaining.

Hipperholme were back in the match and Danny Cole struck again before wickets tumbled through each of the remaining overs to Marcus Kelly, Luke Cole and Alex Mellor as Bradford were bowled out for 130 in 29.2 overs.

Batting in drizzle Kelly showed patience after Bradford got the early breakthrough when Swaine dragged one onto his stumps.

Kelly eventually chased a wide delivery and was caught at square leg, and next ball Mellor played the same shot and was back in the pavilion with the score at 43 for three off 10 overs.

With a steady partnership required, the Cole brothers duly obliged, Luke playing the supporting role with Danny eking out the runs to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Danny Cole decided to take on Misra, whose previous five overs had gone for just five, smashing him for 15 including a six over point.

With eight overs left a mini collapse saw Danny Cole (32) lbw and Luke Cole (14) run out.

Tom Denham hit 15 before being caught at mid on, and was soon followed by Sam Gleeson, run out for nine, and Kier Litjens who hit eight off 12 deliveries then drove a ball straight to mid off.

Hipperholme lost a couple of wickets with the score on 127 leaving them requiring four runs from two overs with the last pair at the crease.

Sam Talbot blocked the first four deliveries before grabbing a quick two off the penultimate ball and a single off the final ball of the over.

The first ball of the final over thundered into Talbot's pads and with the Bradford players claiming a leg before, Callum Lewis set off for the leg bye that saw his side home.

Hipperholme will host either Easingwold School or Scarborough College in the semi final in September.

Hipperholme & Lightcliffe HS under 13s beat highly-fancied Castle Hall School from MIrfield by eight wickets to reach the quarter finals.

Hipperholme opening bowlers Danny Cole and Callum Lewis reduced Castle Hall to 14 for two and man of the match Luke Parkin chipped in with two wickets in his first over to reduce the opposition to 54 for four.

Sensing the chance to get at the tail, Parkin continued and took a further two further wickets in his next two overs.

He received good support from the fine bowling of Kieran Rodger, and Alex Mellor took two further wickets in the final overs to leave the home side chasing 80.

Openers Cole and Swaine got the scoreboard ticking over immediately with well run singles and some stout defence saw off the opening bowlers.
