THERE could be mixed emotions at Sutton over the final fortnight of the Mewies Solicitors Craven League.

Foulridge's comprehensive win at home to Haworth Road Meths has put Sutton's first team back in a relegation place in Division One.

However, Bradley's derby win at Cowling, coupled with Sutton second string's victory at Cononley, has put them back on top of an exciting Division Five title race.

Sutton must have been hopeful in the top flight when Richard Walker's 7-44 helped to dismiss visitors Riddlesden for 105.

However, Sutton only had two players in double figures as they were castled for 73.

Sutton, who have top-half teams Bingley Congs (home) and Haworth (away) to play, are a point behind Foulridge, who are at Embsay and at home to Barrowford.

Phil Binner (56no and 6-43) was the star man for Embsay in their 84-run win over doomed Chatburn, although skipper Duncan Ward weighed in with an important 56.

Glusburn and Cowling are neck and neck in the race to be promoted alongside Denholme in Division Two.

Cowling won a last-ball thriller at Bradley, who made 129, of which opener Matt Buckmaster scored 47 as Avijeet Ghosh took 7-31.

Top three Mike Dudley and Ben Davy (23 each) and Ajmal Choudhry (26) then made Cowling favourites but they only triumphed by two wickets off the last ball as James Heseltine (3-30) and two run outs caused a major wobble.

Denholme were always favourites after making 249-8 at Glusburn, for whom Mark Pickles took 4-73, and the home side could only reply with 155, Ian Simons top-scoring with 33.

However, in what could be a pivotal weekend, leaders Oakworth are at Cowling on Saturday, while Denholme host Glusburn as the top four meet.

Glusburn's second team are back in a demotion berth in Division Four but kept hosts Crossflatts batting for 41.1 overs before the leaders won by two wickets.
