A Yorkshire Premiership battle is on the cards in the final of the Kall Kwik Harrogate and District Squash Championships.

Top seed Ian Cawthorne (Chapel Allerton) and second favourite Simon Myring (Harrogate Squash) are both on course for the showdown. Cawthorne plays for Chapel Allerton in the Premiership and is a former Yorkshire county player while Myring has proved a gritty performer for Harrogate's title challenge in the elite Yorkshire League.

Cawthorne reached the last eight by defeating John Riley (Nomads) 9-7 9-7 6-9 9-7 while Myring cleared Michael Lawton (Chapel Allerton) 9-6 9-7 9-7.

Hopes that a father could face his son in their first competitive clash were dashed when dad Tony Nowakowski (Harrogate) went down 3-2 to Mike Dickens (Chapel Allerton).

Had Nowakowski won he would have played his teenage son Adam in the next round.

A league spokesman said: "We arranged the draw so the pair would meet each other for the first time in a competition in the quarter-finals. But unfortunately dad was knocked out."

Other second round results:

Nick King (Chapel Allerton) beat Steve Smith (Harlow) 9-5 9-7 10-8; Mike Dickens (Chapel Allerton) beat Tony Nowakowski (Harrogate Squash) 9-6 9-6 6-9 8-10 9-5; Adam Nowakowski (Harrogate Squash) beat Nicola Pratt (Harrogate) 6-9 9-7 9-4 3-9 9-4; Bob Peacock (Harrogate) beat Andy Hall (Nomads) 9-4 10-9 6-9 9-7; Stuart McDonald beat Robin Mannell (Moortown) walk-over; Paul Hotchkiss (Harrogate) beat Craig Chapel (Chapel Allerton) walk-over.
