How it played out. Finals Days turn on moments—retirements, squeeze overs, and the courage to keep scoring when the rate bites. In Bradford, Sheffield handled those beats. Against Kirklees, the new‑ball spell was disciplined and the middle overs were tighter still, with Seth and Zayan sharing six between them before a measured chase. In the final with Leeds, an early wobble didn’t last; Seth arrived and changed the tempo, Taha finished in control, and the bowlers closed it out with smart fields and safe hands.

Why it matters. Back‑to‑back Yorkshire champions confirms the pathway is working—from Sheffield’s Junior Hundred into a city representative side that looks like a team: communication sharp, roles clear, and belief earned over the summer.
