18th September 2011
The only game of the day came from the Section A cup final, as always member club in the league live up to their standard, both teams played outstanding cricket to make the first and probably the last Section A cup final as part of the two year restructuring plan.  Kahuta won the toss and elected to field first, to take advantage of the wet wicket and outfield.  The conditions did not affect Friends who kept up their reputation for hard hitting and within the first 9 over were on 66 before losing M Maroof (41).  In the next 5 overs Khatua bowled well to restrict Friends and claimed another wicket.  Friends had the upper hand in the next 5 over and moved onto 126 but failed to capitalise on the last 10 over as they continued to lose wickets and ended up with an innings total of 199.  During the tea break rain made the conditions very difficult to start the game and eventually both team agreed to reduce the game to 15 overs with a total of 99 to chase for Kahuta.  Kahuta lost their first wicket on 24 in the firth over and Friends had them under pressure, they then lost another 2 wickets in the 6 and 7 over and things just look difficult for Kahuta needing 63 in the last 8 overs.  Aswin and Shakeel were well aware of their responsibilities and started to accelerate the score to 59 in the 10th over, needing 40 in the last five overs.  The 12 over was the clincher for Kahuta as the score 16 runs of the Captains, A Shah's over and a win was within their sight. Friends fought back with a two good over by only conceding 12 runs leaving Kahuta to score 9 of the last over.  Kahuta score 3 runs of the first two balls.  The next two balls were dot balls and Kahuta needed 6 runs of the two deliveries, man of the match, Shakeel Ahmed finished the game of in true Quaid e Azam style by hitting a six over deep midwicket to start the celebrations.

4th September 2011
The relegation zone in the premier section is almost conclusive for Shaan, Chach and Bradford Moor but the 4th place could see one of three, Darnall Alliance, Karmand or Lahore in with a chance to avoid relegation into Section A.  Karmand won convincingly against Darulshafa today, Karmand batted first and scored 351 for 6 with performances with the bat from F Hussain (183no) and F Bedford (60), Karmand bowled DarulShafa out for 220, M Hussain ended up with 4 - 11 runs including an hat-trick.  In Section A play offs Whiterose beat Shaheen to take first place as Bhalot lose to Azad by 8 wickets.  Bhalot need to win their next game to take second place but if they lose they could see Azad leap over them for second place.  Both Friends and Kahuta secure the top two positions to qualify for the Section A final which will be played next Sunday, they venue of the final will be confirmed by mid week.

8 a side Cup competition
Onq won the final with a very comfortable win on well deserved finalist Whiterose who were under par in the re scheduled final today.  Whiterose lost early wickets and struggled to gain the momentum they needed to accelerate the score.  They were eventually all out for just 45 runs in the final over.  Onq played very sensibly and chased the score in the 5 over and lost only one wicket.

21st August 2011
You would be mistaken to think we were still playing 45 over with the scores but this is why the league is renowned for its excellence.  The game is played to the extreme and the teams game plan is to score as quickly as possible in the 30 overs.  Keighley RZM had a very comfortable win which was help by G Ahmed unbeaten century of just 37 balls.  Keighley won by 10 wickets against Bradford Moor who were bowled out for 169.  One of two centurions was in the game between Attock and Little Horton,  S Nawaz hit 108 for little Horton, his contribution was not enough to secure victory over Attock.  Onq continue their record of wins and maintain their 17 points lead and are likely to complete a double for the moment with the 8 a side competition they could complete a record only reached by two other team, Shabab and Keighley RZM.  The relegation zone is still wide open with Alliance Darnall, Chach and Karmand in the zone but have a chance of avoiding as both Bradford moor and Lahore are not far ahead.  In Section A play offs both Whiterose and Bhalot are set to gain promotion into the Premier Section.  Whilst in the Section A cup two out of the top four are likely to be disappointed, Friends lead the table with a close second place between, Kahuta and Asian Lions and in forth place Heaton Park.  With 2 more fixtures to play any one of the four could make the final.  Kahuta continue to dominate with the bat hitting a new record of 331 in 30 overs limited game.

Solly Sport Cup Final
14th August 2011
On a day the spectators expected fireworks with both teams in top form it was not to be for West Bowling, who got of to a good start with losing their first wicket on 40, scoring at a rate of 4 runs per over.  This was the highest partnership in the innings for West Bowling between both Sarfraz Ahmed and Fahid Rehman.  Onq continued to take wicket at key points to restrict West Bowling to just 166 on a wicket that was very green.  Nadeem Ghanny was the pick of he bowlers with 3 for 31 who was supported by Mohammed Sharafat (2 - 16) and Michael Cramner (1 -21).  West Bowling needed a good start to put Onq under pressure and to defend the average total. Zubair Najeeb did that for West Bowling by taking both Gharib Razak (1) and Zameer Ali (8) in the first 7 overs.  Onq were 19 for 2 and need a steady the innings from both Raqeeb Younas and Michael Cramner, they both put on 51 runs before losing Raqeeb (15) to Eddie Walmsley.  Onq lost another wicket on 95 and the game was now in the balance.  A reputation for calm nerves could Faisal Butt repeat his performance as he did in last year's final with Keighley RZM.  Both Michael (94no) and Faisal (21no) took the game away from West Bowling by reaching the score with 6 over to spare.

7th August 2011
The top of the table match between Onq and Keighley RZM was won by Onq by 39 runs to extend their lead by 17 points and are likely to take the title after 6 years.  In the Section A play off Whiterose are the favourites after winning both their games and have taken lead by 6 points.  In the cup Friends and Kahuta got the maximum points with Asian lions 1 point behind.
The Solly Sports cup will take place next week at Saltaire Cricket Club, match will start at 1.30pm.

31st July 2011
With the excellent weather most teams chose to bat first to take the advantage but it was not to be.  Chach played an outstanding game to win by three wicket over West Bowling who have struggled in the last few weeks and have now dropped to third place.  Keighley continue to go strength to strength after a rocky start early in the season, they beat Karmand by 4 wickets chasing 205 to move to second place.  Bottom of the table tie between Bradford Moor and Alliance Darnall was won  by Bfd Moor who chased a target of 238 with 4 wickets to spare.  Onq continue to dominate the Premier Section with a very comfortable win over Lahore.  Little Horton chased their target of 261 against Shaan and won by 6 wickets.
Whilst in Section A play offs Whiterose look the likely team to gain promotion into the Premier Section. There were no surprises in the first game of the cup other the one between Kahuta and Kashmir, Kahuta batted first a set a target 297, they were confident that they had the game in the bag, however Kashmir XI had other plans, they chased the target with the loss of just 3 wickets with performances from Usman (150*) and Shakeel (41).

24th July 2011
League Fixtures
Section A league matches to decide the playoff were completed today with a very tight contest in Group 1 with Heaton Park losing out who lost to Shaheen by 16 runs.  Both Shaheen and Bhalot qualified for the play offs to day.  The fixture have now been updated.  Onq beat Little Horton very comfortable to extend their lead as West bowling lost to Darnall alliance by just one wicket in a thrilling game.

The Solly Sports cup final will be played on the 14th August 2011 at Saltaire Cricket club, Upper Coach Road, Shipley.  The official for the game have also been appointed, Fazal Hussain and Tariq Mahmood will be the two umpires for the final.  As usual the cup final will be played in coloured clothing and pink ball.

17th July 2011
League Fixtures
The poor weather affected 3 of the 13 games today with also some very low scoring games due to the soft pitches.  Onq took advantage of the weather and extended their lead by 9 points.  Alliance Darnall beat Attock WB by 124 runs to take them out of the relegation zone. It looks an impossible task for Shaan to avoid relegation to Section A.  In Section A, group 1 it remains close with the outcome of the tables going to the very last game to qualify for the play offs between Shaheen, Bhalot and Heaton Park, Whilst in the other group White Rose and Azad have both qualified for the play offs with one game to go. White Rose lost their first game by 5 wickets against Kahuta with skipper of White Rose, N Akhtar (52) performing with the bat.  For Kahuta a quick 55 by Tahir help them to secure 6 points.  The top of the table tie with Heaton and Bhalot did not fail expectation, Bhalot were put into bat and were restricted to 189 in their 45 overs with a good grafting innings from A Mahmood (77*).  Heaton Park got off to a good start with 14 of the first 2 overs but then lost 3 quick wickets and the total of 189 seemed a long way off.  The game was tense and Bhalot had the upper hand as Heaton needed 90 runs of the last 20 with 6 wickets down. Excellent batting for R Mahmood (51*) and Z Yousaf (21) took the game to the end, finishing of with a six and 3 overs to spare.

League Fixtures
For the exception of the game between Kahuta and Friends the rest of the fixtures were all one side games which does not happen that often in the league.  The performance of the day came in the game between Darulshafa and Shaan.  Darulshafa batted first and scored 306 for 8 with performances from W Akhtar 43, M Wasim 46, and an unbeaten century from A Mahmood (161*). Keighley beat West bowling to move closer to the top, whilst Onq secured another easy six points to take them back to the top place.
Shaheen, Bhalot and Heaton Park are still in a position to take the top two places, whilst in Group B Azad just need 6 points out of the 12 to gain a place in the play offs. The only wicket haul came from the game between New Khalsa and Heaton Park, A Saeed finished with 5 - 19.

3rd July 2011.
League Fixtures
Karmand made Onq work for their 6 points to maintain their joint top position with West Bowling who won with a margin of 41 runs.  Keighley are back on their winning form and move into third place followed by Attock WB in forth place.  The relegation zone is still wide open with bottom six at risk of being one of the four to go down with the restructuring for next season. 
In Section A (Group 2) Whiterose is the first team to book a place in the playoff thanks to H Javaid (43)  and A Kamran (41) who made look easy against Asian Lions.  Azad, Kahuta and Friends all fighting for the second place to also book a place in the playoffs. In Section A (Group 1)Bhalot lost their second consecutive game to give both Shaheen and Heaton Park the opportunity to go into the playoffs.  With just three more games its going to be a close finish.
  
26th June 2011.

White Rose remain the only team to be unbeaten since the start of the season are look very likely to be in the play offs, thanks to a good bowling spell from Kala Khan 5 - 18 who help them to secure another win.

League Fixtures
Another week with some interesting results in both sections. In the premier section Darulshafa had an easy game against Karmand, Darulshafa set a target of 293 for 9 with an unbeaten contribution from W Akhtar (150 no) to give them an easy win over Karmand, West Bowling and Onq continue to demonate in the section with easy wins over Bradford Moor and Alliance Darnall.
In Section A Bhalot maintain their 100% records to keep top spot along with Whiterose.
 
22nd May 2011.
League Fixtures
In the Premier Section it most likely seems to be a two horse race with both Onq and West Bowling neck and neck since the start of the season.  Onq have maintained their 100% record as we enter the first third of the season next week.  West Bowling have only dropped one since the start of the season.  Both clubs had easy wins today, Onq beat Keighley RZM by 6 wickets, Keighley set a meagre target of 161 which Onq chased very comfortably, West Bowling also had an easy win over Shaan who were all bowled out for just 98 runs in return West Bowling chased the score with the loss of 2 wickets. Lahore beat Attock West Bowling to take the third.  Little Horton won again to take them of the bottom of the table.  Alliance Darnall continue to struggle at the foot of the table.  In both groups of Section A it seems a tale of two half.  Bhalot and Heaton Park continue to hold their place at the top of the table, Shaheen lost to Asian Lions to slip a further 6 points behind.  Whilst in the another group White Rose, Friends, Kahuta and Azad maintain their position at the top of the table.  Whiterose beat Golstar by 134 runs with contribution with the bat from A Kamran (92), Goldstar were all bowled out for just 76, A Qadeer (5-28).

14th May 2011.

To track text fines we have started a new system.  Team highlighted in red will be fined for not complying with rule24.
After a good start to the season it was to good to be true and the overnight rain effected several games in both sections, those that had been played once again set new records with another double centuries this time by Shaheen,  both I Ifrahim (129), N Hafeez (137no) helped  set a target of 382 against New Khalsa who were balled out for 156.  The game between Chach and Bradford Moor was going in Bradford moor's way when they had chach at 101 - 9 with only one wicket remaining.  M Shah and number 11 put on 103 in just less then 7 over for the 10th wicket partnership a new record in the league to take Chach onto 204 all out, M Shah continue to disappoint Bradford Moor by taking 7 wicket for 28 runs.  Onq and West Bowling continue to widen the gap at the top as both secured outright wins today. 

1st May 2011.
Another interesting day of results, Keighley have only lost 1 game in each season for the past four years but have managed to lose two out of the first three game so far, Attock WB batted first and scored 285-7 contributions with the bat from S Khan (46) and S Khan (50) in response Keighley fought back but only managed 256 all out with contribution with the bat from the in form Y Ali (92) and Z Qasim (42).  Little Horton continue to struggle and lost by 4 wickets to Onq who now top the Premier table.  West Bowling continue to do well and maintain joint second place with a comfortable win over Darnall Alliance. Lahore continue to surprise this time at the cost of Bradford Moor, Lahore set a target of 255 all out and failed to gain all 6 points as Bradford Moor ended up with 207 for 9. After a disappointing start Darulshafa bounced back with yet another big innings score of 324-6  with contribution from the bat from N Khan (124) and D Rahuja (77no).
In Section A Group 2 White rose is the only team to maintain its 100% by winning comfortable over Azad, whilst in Group 1 its a much closer contest with Bhalot, Shaheen and Eastern Friends all with 2 out of 2 wins. Bhalot score 344 against New Khalsa and was the first team to have two centurions in one match M Arshad (144) and A Gujjar (123) whilst Heaton Park scored the highest total of the day with an innings score of 371 for 7, contributions with the bat from M Hussain (112no), N Khan (75), A Saeed (52).

24th April 2011.
From today's results it looks to be a tough season for bowlers again, the combination of excellent weather and good wickets batters are likely to enjoy the season as we had in the previous season which so a new record of the number of players qualifying for the averages. West Bowling seem to have set the bar with 2 out off 2 games, of which today's match was against the unbeatable Keighley who seem to be going through the same phase as the Australian side (no longer the dominate side) or will they prove us wrong as we have a very long season a head of us.  Onq and newly prompted Lahore also maintain a 100% record. Little Horton, Chach and Alliance Darnall continue to struggle.  Attock West Bowling (310 for 9) and Darulshafa (292 for 5) both scored the highest target total today. Also new promoted Karmand secured their first win over Darnall Alliance, Darnall batted first and were all bowled out for 205 with the best bowling performance from Sarij Hussain, right (4 for 16).  In return Karmand just managed to secure their win by 1 wicket with batting performance from F Hussain (45) and S Khan, left (43) 
For Section A the season got of to a start today with some surprising results Friends, Heaton Park and new boys Kahuta all got bet.  Bhalot (previous known as Leeds Star) and Shaheen both won as did White Rose, Azad, Asian Lions and Harehills. Bhalot and Shaheen scored the highest runs in the group.
