Mick Hall of Guiseley carded a 21-14 success over Eccleshill’s Paul Hillam to win the Bradford Wednesday Merit.

Hall rolled back the years to lift his second major singles title in the Bradford area, having won the Bradford Merit in 2004.

He came through a tough quarter-final battle with Angela Carter (Pudsey Littlemoor) 21-18, before winning by the same score against Glen McCafferty (Asa Briggs) in the semis.

Hillam had also battled hard to make it to the final, following a 21-19 quarter-final win over Tony Riley (Brighouse Sports) with a 21-17 verdict against Tony Harris (Crossroads) in the last four.

Hillam would have fancied his chances against Hall on their past record but Hall eased to seven-point success to lift the title for the first time.

Last 16: J Dennison 9, MJ Hall 21; C Esposito 17, A Carter 21; M Hemsley 21, M Moorin 12; G McCafferty 21, M Bastow 13; I Matthews 21, S Bowes 16; J Armitage 15, T Harris 21; A Standing 6, AW Riley 21; D Davis 15, P Hillam 21. Quarter-finals: Hall 21, Carter 18; Hemsley 15, McCafferty 21; Matthews 20, Harris 21; Riley 19, Hillam 21. Semi-finals: Hall 21, McCafferty 18; Harris 17, Hillam 21. Final: Hall 21, Hillam 14.

Harold Park shocked Guiseley in the quarter-finals of the Sharpes Estate Agents-sponsored Howarth Cup with a narrow seven-point win at Greengates.

Guiseley were up against it from the start, having to give their opponents a 40-point start, and with Park carding three winners, they booked a semi-final date with Eccleshill, who were comfortable winners over Greengates.

Drighlington, Horsforth Woodside, Bramley Libs and Pudsey BC avoided each other in the Radley Trophy quarter-finals and all will fancy their chances of progressing to the last four.

Draw: Hebden Royd Park v Drighlington, at Netherton Cons; Horsforth Woodside v Royds Park, at Slaithwaite; Slazengers v Bramley Libs, at Crossroads; Bridlington Westgate v Pudsey BC, at Tadcaster.
