    Last year's Addison Cup winners Beckwithshaw.

    Beckwithshaw beat Goldsborough by 12 runs to win the Addison Cup for a record 19th time last night.

    In a low scoring final at Knaresborough Cricket Club, Beckwithshaw posted 107 for 7 in their 20 overs.

    Their bowlers quickly put the squeeze on Goldsborough, who subsided to 95 for 7 on a night when boundaries were hard to come by.

    Harry Lister's spell of two for 10 off four overs earned him the player of the match award for the winning side.

    The Addison Cup, which is contested by the top 16 teams in the Harrogate and District Amateur Evening Cricket League, is one of the oldest cricket competitions in the world, dating back to 1922.

    Beckwithshaw and Bilton had lifted the trophy a joint record 18 times each before last night.

    Beckwithshaw, who recently rejoined the league after a short break, were also awarded the Division Three title last night. The side has gone through the season undefeated so far.

    Beckwithshaw captain George Stephens holds the Addison Cup.



    Winning captain George Stephens, who is just 18 years old, said last night:

    "It was a tough batting wicket and we came off after our innings confident we had a decent score we could defend."
