Ghany struck nine sixes and 17 fours and shared in a second wicket stand of 220 with opener Scott Etherington (80) as Bradford & Bingley
made 259-3 before declaring after 42 overs as the rain started.

Nineteen-year-old Ghany batted beautifully. He gave only one chance and that came on 143 when veteran Murphy Walwyn stepped over the boundary catching a straight drive off the bowling of Greg Colehan.

Etherington gave good support to Gharni and he struck two sixes and 14 fours as the Bankfoot bowling attack was put to the sword.

The rain deprived Ghany of a deserved 150 and also denied Bradford & Bingley the opportunity to press for the victory they wanted against the bottom team.

Another century maker was Farsley opener Steve Simpson against Cl;eckheaton. His innings of 105 contained six sixes and ten fours and helped Farsley make 233-6 in 47 overs before play was abandoned. Lorenzo Ingram was 62 not out.

The team who were happiest to see the rain were Undercliffe. They had no game and remain at the top of the tables - just one point ahead of Pudsey Congs who earned seven points at Baildon.

Congs made 228-5 in 43 overs with Adam Patel (56no), Andrew Siddall (45), Andrew Bairstow (42) and Babar Butt (42) all made runs while skipper Ian Philliskirk was Baildon's best bowler with three for 69.

There was no doubt which team was most relieved to see the rain - that was Saltaire. They were in deep trouble at 105-9 after Paul Machell (4-17) sparked a collapse with a hat-trick. Javed Umarji (37) was the only Saltaire batsman to make an impression in the relegation battle.

Pudsey St Lawrence saw their chance of going back the top washed out at Tofts Road. Rivals Woodlands had struggled to 135-4 after 41 overs when the heavens opened.
