Division One

Baildon moved 13 points clear at the top as their title rivals East Bierley and Bradford & Bingley were left feeling under the weather.

Left-armer Andy Walker (5-39) and skipper Ian Philliskirk (4-15) sparked a dramatic collapse which saw Cleckheaton slump from 56-0 to 90 all-out as Baildon secured a 97-run win

Once skipper John Wood departed for 42 the rot set in and Baildon cashed in on insipid Cleckheaton batting to secure 18 priceless points.

Such a convincing victory had appeared unlikely when Baildon's batting faltered after a sound start. Openers Harry Smallwood (48) and Tabbi Bhatti (28) put on 69 but then wickets fell at regular intervals and a total of 187-9 looked gettable.

Leg-spinner Tom Pringle impressed with four for 43 for Cleckheaton while Ian Wood took three for 31 as Baildon were pegged back, but Baildon's total was to prove to be more than sufficient as the home side crumbled.

Rain shaved 18 overs off the clash between Bradford & Bingley and East Bierley at Wagon Lane. Bradford & Bingley skipper Phil Slater resisted the temptation to declare early and equalise the overs. Instead he allowed his side to bat for 49.1 overs before declaring once his side got their fourth batting point. Slater top scored with 72.

East Bierley were left with 36 overs to score 202 to win. It was a tough challenge and one that became impossible once a further four overs were lost to rain.

Greg Wood with a dashing 70 and Andrew Rennison (42) tried to force the pace for East Bierley who finished on 177-6. Both sides collected nine points and lost ground on leaders Baildon.

At the bottom of the table Hanging Heaton are making a big effort to avoid the drop. They followed up last week's win at Saltaire with a 43-run win over Farsley who are now deeply embroiled in the relegation battle.

James Stansfield (77), Haroon Rashid (49) and Alan Mynett (41) carried Hanging Heaton to a total of 243-7. Farsley were restricted to 200-7 in reply despite young Joe Greaves making an unbeaten 52.

Hanging Heaton now have 182 points and are just six behind Farsley. Manningham Mills are rooted to the bottom after a 46-run defeat at Yeadon.

The ever-consistent Dan Shuffe (63) and David Leather (39) top scored for Yeadon as they made 172 all out before dismissing Mills for 126 with Kiwi Tom Johnston taking three for 25. Mills' top bowler was Shoaib Latif with four for 45.

Champions Woodlands gave themselves a little breathing space with a seven-wicket win over disappointing Pudsey St Lawrence. Scott Richardson continued his good form with an unbeaten 72 as Woodlands cruised to their victory target.

Essex all-rounder James Middlebrook hit three sixes and ten fours as he made an unbeaten 101 in Pudsey Congs' 27-run win over Gomersal. Middlebrook was well supported by skipper Matthew Doidge as Congs posted a score of 255-5. Gomersal, despite the efforts of Shahzaib Khan (81) and Gulsheraz Ahmed (69) finished on 228-6.

Division Two

Undercliffe and Bankfoot moved to the brink of promotion with nervy two-wicket wins against Lightcliffe and Idle respectively.

Third-placed Windhill weren't so lucky. They suffered a 54-run defeat at Keighley which means they are now 16 point adrift of Bankfoot who they meet in their final game next Saturday.

Undercliffe, who head the table by a single point, found life a little uncomfortable on a lively wicket at Lightcliffe. Despite a defiant 42 from James Horne, Lightcliffe were dismissed for 116 with Nawaz Sardar taking five for 27.

The victory target looked an easy one but Undercliffe struggled and eventually squeezed home with eight wickets down.

It was a similar story at Idle where Bankfoot, replying to a modest Idle score of 137 all out, got into trouble and had to fight hard for their two-wicket success. Simon Curry made 39 while Mahmood Rasool (4-28) and Kurtis Whippey (3-43) were the main wicket takers for Idle who put down a number of catches,

Luke Heinemman's (50) and skipper Greg Pickles (48) were Idle's top scorers while Edward Walmsley (4-23) and Nigel Hanson (3-19) were Bankfoot's best bowlers.

Richard Robinson was the man who put the dent in Windhill's promotion hopes by making 38 in a Keighley score of 175-7 and taking seven for 28 as Windhill were dismissed for 121. Farakh Hussain was top scorer for Windhill with 40.

Left-arm spinner Craig Woodhead took seven for 43 but ended up on the losing side as Hartshead Moor went down by 29 runs to Bowling Old Lane.

The prospects seemed bright for Hartshead Moor when they dismissed Old Lane for 128, but their batting crumbled and they were bowled out for 99 as Amjid Khan took four for 36 and Mushtaba Akhtar (3-20).

Nathan Bromby (4-20) and Tom Smith (3-22) bowled Morley to a 74-run win over Great Horton. The foundations for the win were prepared by Dan Lloyd (71), Adam Larkin (45) and Phil Carter (33) as Morley made 207-4.

Spen Victoria avenged their earlier defeat by Brighouse by squeezing home by two wickets in the return fixture. Matthew West took four for 45 as Brighouse were dismissed for 141 and then skipper Peter Jackson hit 46 as Spen edged home.
