Follifoot also managed to get their second win of the season – a four-wicket success over Adel.

Follifoot got off to a shaky start with the bat and were 64-5 at one point with David Foster (3-17) removing the first three batsmen.

Burley-in-Wharfdale got another win as they beat defending champions Beckwithshaw by five wickets.

The visitors batted first and were bowled out for 137, Nicky Bulcock (4-25) and Sam Fox (3-28) doing most of the damage.

Horsforth suffered their second defeat of the season in a 91-run home loss at the hands of Pool.

The visitors batted first and put a target of 155 on the board. Opener Charlie Bell top scored with 56 as Ben Heritage returned 7-26 to give Horsforth hope of victory.
