Delph hoping to continue their 'brilliant' unbeaten run

MOHAMMED SHAKIR

DELPH continue to fly high at the top of the Drakes Huddersfield League Premiership, and they will be confident of extending their eye-catching unbeaten run tomorrow.

Andrew Gleave's men head over the hill to play an Elland side who are hovering just above the early-season drop zone places, having won only one match so far this term. Start 1pm.

The opposite can be said of Delph, who have won seven of their eight fixtures so far in a breathtaking 2016, which has included a clutch of wickets from Mohammed Shakir. The remaining match was lost to bad weather.

"The lads have been brilliant this year," said Delph statistician Les Harrison.

"There's a real togetherness in the camp and everyone works so hard for one another.

"We've had (Lancashire all-rounder) Arron Lilley available too. He's been in great form with bat and ball."

Delph are six points clear of nearest rivals Armitage Bridge.

WOODHOUSES host Roe Green tomorrow as they look to give their Greater Manchester League Division One campaign a kick-start.
