Bradford No 1 kept in touch with Sheffield No 1 and Castleford No 1 at the top of Division
One of the Yorkshire Inter District Snooker League with a shaky 4-2 victory against bottom
side Thorne at Lilycroft WMC.

Thorne had lost all their ten matches this season before this fixture and were under
pressure from the start, having to concede the opening two frames as a result of one of
their players pulling out at the last minute.

Sajid Khan was first on for Bradford against Chris Ray and both frames were scrappy.
Ray won the opener on the black before Khan won the next by picking off the colours.
Jason Walton put Bradford 4-1 in front before opponent Shaun Hennessey made two 30-plus
breaks to win the last comfortably.

Bradford No 1 now take on Harrogate on Saturday, again at Lilycroft WMC (7.30) and hope to
keep the pressure on the leaders.

Improving Thorne are back in the city at the weekend when they take on Bradford No 2 at
Manningham Ward Labour Club.
