Holders Pudsey St Lawrence secured their first win in this season's competition when they beat near-neighbours Pudsey Congs by seven wickets on Sunday.

Andy Hayward and Nathan Bromby both made 33 for Morley who were kept in check by Chris Goodair (3-15) and Mark Inwood (3-11)

Hanging Heaton top the table on runs difference from east Bierley who were awarded a win when opponents Cleckheaton were unable to raise a side.

Hartshead Moor's first win came at Brighouse where they defeated the home team by 59 runs despite as fine all-round performance from Saj Ali who took three for 26 and made 89 not out with five sixes and six fours. Craig Field (46) and Martin Ellis (36) were the main scorers for Moor as they made 197-7.
