SKIPTON were denied by the weather at home to Aire-Wharfe League Division Two promotion favourites Guiseley.

Good bowling from Iqbal Khan (3-16) and Gary Owens (3-37) had dismissed the visitors for 95 and the hosts were eight runs short of victory with four wickets in hand when the game was called off due to rain, Shahid Nadeem making 31.

David Robinson's return to form could not stop Steeton slipping to the bottom of Division One as they lost by three wickets at Pool.

The opener has had an uncharacteristically difficult season in the second team but, having stepped up to the firsts, he showed his class with a top score of 64 from 99 deliveries.

He remained steadfast as wickets fell around him, skipper Stevie Pearson (42) and Luke Watson (21) offering some resistance as the visitors were all out for 162 runs from 43.4 overs, Jake Zjilinszky taking four wickets.

Paul Hardcastle (3-43) and James Emmott (4-42) captured seven Pool wickets before John Goldthorp (39no) and Sam Wilkinson (17no) clinched victory.

Kirkstall's win over North Leeds saw them leapfrog the Summerhill Lane side.

A four-wicket haul from Silsden's Manley du Preez restricted Bardsey to 169 but, despite 40 from opener Chris Meehan and 35 from Saba Khan, the hosts still went down by five runs.

Jake Starkey made an unbeaten 61 for Upper Wharfedale at home to Leeds Modernians but the game was cut short by rain with the hosts 128-6.
