A KEIGHLEY cricket competition is being backed by estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley for a third year.

The company is again sponsoring the Keighley Cup, which is open to all first teams – from any league – in the area.

Hosted by Keighley Cricket Club, the opening rounds of the Twenty20-format contest take place this month and the finals are held in late July.

Dacre, Son & Hartley banners and branding will be displayed at the ground.

And the firm's area director, Ian Bradbury, will present the trophy to the winners.

He said: "We're big supporters of local cricket and are delighted to back the Keighley Cup yet again this year – it’s a great display of cricket and a real joy to watch."

Dacre, Son & Hartley has had an office in Keighley for over 70 years.

It also has 20 other offices across West and North Yorkshire.
