They have picked up one more trophy at the end of their successful spell via Mo Waheed, who took 20 wickets at 10.85 to win the bowling prize.

Blackley’s George Barton has won the Division One wicket keeping for the second season in succession.

One player who got even nearer to an average of 100 than Welsh was Scott Smith for Buttershaw St Paul’s in Division Three.
