Full scorecards League Tables Second team review

Division One

Undercliffe seized their chance to go top of the table when they judged their run chase to perfection to defeat Gomersal by four wickets.

The victory earned them 18 points and took them eight ahead of Pudsey St Lawrence who were without a game.

Their lead is likely to last for just 24 hours though because they are without a game today (Sunday) while St Lawrence are at home to Woodlands in the game of the day.

The platform for Undercliffe's victory was created by Tabassum Bhatti who was a member of the Baildon side which won the title last season.

Bhatti made 77 and his work was then built on by in-form Ashley Metcalfe (40) and Farakh Hussain (30) as Undercliffe passed Gomersal's total of

Off spinner Adam Greenwood was the most successful Gomersal bowler with four for 67, but he couldn't spare his side from a defeat which leaves them hovering just above the relegation positions

The one crumb of comfort for Gomersal was the return to form of their experienced opening batsman Richard Gould. He made 74 and shared an opening stand of 120 with the division's top scorer Andy Gorrod (41)

Skipper Richard Whitehurst enlivened proceedings with a knock of 67 off 44 balls which contatined five sixes and four fours, and Shahzaib Khan hit 34 as Gomersal reached 252-5 in their 50 overs.

Woodlands slipped from third to fifth as they lost to in-form Cleckheaton by four wickets. Even a fine spell of six for 49 from left-arm spinner Chris Brice could save them as Cleckheaton eased past their under-par score of 147 all out.

Overseas player Ammar Mahmood again impressed for Cleckheaton. He made 53 to follow up his fine bowling spell of five for 24 which put Woodlands in a spin. Dan Shuffe (35) was the top scorer as Woodlands' batting again let them down.

Pudsey Congs climbed into third place after defeating Farsley by 73 runs. Andrew Bairstow (61), Gareth Phillips (56) - playing against his old club - and Mark Gill (34) carried Congs to a score of 227-7.

West Indian Lorenzo Ingram was the pick of the bowlers with four for 36 and he also made the top score of 52 as Farsley were bowled out for 154. Andy Siddall took four for 10 and Mark Bray (3-52) as Congs collected maximum points.

For the second successive week there was a tie. This time it came at Wagon Lane in the game between Bradford & Bingley and Yeadon.

Despite (41) from Chris Thompson, Bradford & Bingley couldn't overhaul a Yeadon total of 137-9 because they were kept in check by the tight bowling of Grant Soames (4-26), Mahmood Rasool (3-31) and Andrew Robertson (3-45).

Yeadon, who have struggled for runs all season, laboured 50 overs for their 137-9. The main contributor was Sri Lankan Tharanga De Silva with 31. Thompson was the pick of Bingley's bowlers with three for 31.

Overseas player Mohammad Azharullah came to East Bierley's rescue at Bankfoot. They were in deep trouble at 78-6 as their former second team player Chris Brook (6-39) exploited the bowler-friendly conditions, before Azharullah took centre stage.

He hit a six and eight fours as he made his maiden half century for East Bierley. Buoyed by his success with the bat, Azharullah then took five for 47 as he and skipper Paul Hutchison dismissed Bankfoot for just 94 to seal a 91-run win.

Champions Baildon are getting sucked into the relegation fight after losing to lowly Saltaire by seven wickets. Wasim Munawar (52no) and opener Tim Jackson (50no) shared an unbroken stand of 87 to secure their side's win.

Once again Baildon's batting misfired. Skipper Ian Philliskirk (34), Jonny Reynolds (34) and Shane Gadsdon (32) were all dismissed when looking set to make a decisive contribution. As a result they were bowled out for an inadequate 138 with Nadeem Mohammed (4-54) and Jackson (3-27) adding to Baildon's woes. 

Division Two

Watch out for Bowling Old Lane! They are now just two points behind second-placed Lightcliffe after defeating them by six wickets.

Batting was never a trouble-free occupation but Manvell knuckled down to make a priceless 69 which enabled Hartshead Moor to post a score of 191-8 which was always going to be a stiff target.

To achieve it Mills needed to show application but too many of their batsmen misjudged the pitch and were out mistiming drives. The one exception was opener Amjid Hussain who made 44, as North produced an impressive spell of five for 39. Mills were bowled out for 138 and have now been overtaken in the table by Hartshead Moor.

Hanging Heaton are now 33 points clear at the top after a Rob McFarlane inspired win over Morley. McFarland his two sixes and 16 fours in a fine innings of 110, while James Stansfield (58) helped swell the total to 261-6.
