THE Bolton League's record century-maker is one of the three professionals called up for the annual Trinity Cup match against the Bolton Association at Little Lever on Sunday week.

Brad Hodge, the Farnworth professional, hit eight centuries last season and although he has scored only two in the current season, the second came last week when his 159 against Heaton was the top score in the League this year.

The other two professionals are both bowlers, Tonge's Iqbal Sikander and Bradshaw's Sajid Shah, who makes his Trinity debut.

The rest of the side is made up of players who helped the League reach the inter-league final last week beating the Lancashire County League by ten wickets.

Steve Davies and David Smith who produced a 200-run unbeaten partnership in that game are included in the side, which will be captained by Kearsley's Craig Lavelle.

The side is: Craig Lavelle, capt., Steve Davies, Paul Berry, David White (all Kearsley), Tim Barry (Egerton), Matthew Parkinson (Farnworth SC), David Smith (Walkden), Ian Taylor (Tonge), Iqbal Sikander (Tonge), Sajid Shah (Bradshaw), Brad Hodge (Farnworth).
