Division Two
Barbadian Carleon Brome produced the highest individual score of the new season when he smashed 174 not out as Idle defeated Great Horton by four wickets to record their first Division Two win of the season.
Brome smashed 130 runs in boundaries as he hammered seven sixes and 22 fours and was supported by Michael Kelsey (55) as Idle made 299-4.
Great Horton made a bold bid to chase down the Idle score but finished on 295-6 despite the efforts of skipper Khalid Mehmood (86), Mohammed Said (80no) and Altaf Mohammad 66). The defeat leaves them anchored to the bottom
At the other end of the table, Saltaire became the third team to lead the division so far this season after a 34-run win over Bankfoot which enabled them to replace Morley - who were without a game - at the summit.
Waleed Akhtar (58), Javed Umarji (55no), Sanjaya Kodimarakkalage (51), and Tinashe Gomwe (48no) helped Saltaire to 247-4.
It was a challenging and despite 52 from James Holdsworth, Bankfoot were restricted to 213-8.
Lightcliffe recovered from Saturday's defeat at Yeadon by beating Keighley by 61 runs to move up to second place, two points behind Saltaire.
Josh Wheatley (98) and Chris Taylor (83) shared an opening stand of 181 which set their side on course for a total of 135-4.
Wheatley, who struck two sixes and 16 fours, was also in good form with the ball. He took 4-46 and was well supported by Chris Greenwood (3-42) as Keighley were restricted to 174-8 in reply. Once Max Davidson (56) and Imran Patel (39) were dismissed the innings petered out.
Hartshead Moor cruised to an impressive nine-wicket win over Spen Victoria as they mobved into fourth place. Graham Hilton (80no) and Reece Jennison (65) shared an opening stand 110, before Craig Field (59no) joined Hilton in an unbroken second-wicket partnership of 100 as Hartshead Moor passed the Spen total of 206 all out with 3.3 overs to spare.
Hilton struck a six and ten fours while Jennison, a winter recruit from Halifax League side Triangle, hit two sixes and eight fours.
