Longwood and Cowcliffe will contest the Team KO Final at Kirkheaton Con this Friday with a 1.30pm start time. Both teams have beaten four teams to reach the Final with Longwood seeing off Elland C&BC (150-130), Netherton Con A (141-135), Lindley Lib A (153-129) and then Lockwood Con A (136-119) in the semi-finals. Whilst Cowcliffe disposed of New Mill A (145-104), Clayton West (146-107), Elland WMC (152-133)) and then in the semi-finals they beat Waterloo (128-12).
The format of the Team KO competition replicates the League matches format of 4 Singles and 3 Pairs although the aggregate differentiates the teams in the Team KO. Only in the event of a drawn aggregate score does the number of matches won come into play.
There will be a new name on the trophy this year as neither of the two finalists have won this competition before. Both are Division 1 teams who haven't played each other yet this season as Longwood sit 2nd in the table and Cowcliife are in 7th position before this week's matches.
