    Harrogate Cricket Club overcame Wetherby Carr Manor to win the Addison Cup in Knaresborough last night.

    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.

    Harrogate scored 131 for 7 in their 20 overs then limited Wetherby Carr Manor to 99 all out.

    Harrogate's hero was captain Will Bates, who was named man of the match for scoring 59 in a game in which runs were hard to come by.



    Skilful, accurate bowling by Harrogate's opening bowlers led to early wickets and the match was effectively over by the halfway stage of Wetherby Carr Manor's innings.

    Clive Addison, grandson of Harry Addison, who the cup is named after, presented the trophy at Knaresborough Cricket Club on Aspin Lane.

    Next year the event will celebrate its 100th year.
