STEETON'S resurgence in Division One came to a halt at Collingham as they lost by 57 runs.

After the hosts won the toss, their top four batsmen were all removed by James Emmott, who finished with excellent figures of 4-49. Skipper Steve Pearson weighed in with 3-50 as Collingham closed on 187-8 wickets in 50 overs, Toby Jacklin top-scoring with 38.

Steeton’s reply began poorly with the top four batsmen back in the tent with only 35 on the board in the 16th over.

Top-scorer Tom Stead (35) steadied the innings with an fine 54-run fifth-wicket partnership with Craig Walton (27) but Steeton succumbed after 39.2 overs to 130 all out.

Skipton's hopes of pushing for Division Two victory over lowly Ben Rhydding were sunk by the weather.

Play was halted after Skipton had made 174-7 in their 50 overs at Sandylands. Gary Owens made an unbeaten 58 to led a recovery from 64-4 by striking two sixes and six fours, while skipper Rob Walker made 34 after Ben Rhydding's overseas player Kervon Christmas (3-53) had posed early problems.

Addingham's promotion hopes suffered a setback as they tumbled to a surprise 25-run defeat at Illingworth.

Things looked to be going their way when Ricky Palacio (4-39), Robert Ellis (3-10) and Ted Haggas (3-20) dismissed the home side for 103, but Illingworth had other ideas as they bowled out the visitors for 78. Last man Jack DeAth (20) was their top scorer as Ben Robertshaw (5-22) posed problems.

Ed Broadley snatched victory from the jaws of defeat for Olicanian in Division Three at Silsden. Chasing the visitors' 141, in which Chris Wheeler scored a half-century and Shaun Brentall took 3-26, Silsden’s last pair of Tom Greenwood (29) and Manley Du Preez (34no in 28 balls) put on 52 to get within two runs of victory, only for sharp fielding by Broadley to run out Greenwood as he scampered for the winning runs. Scott Sanderson (3-51) and Harry Smallwood (3-23) were Olicanian's main wicket-takers.

Upper Wharfedale remain rooted to the bottom of the table after suffering a five-wicket defeat at home to New Rover.

Once again they failed to make enough runs when they batted first. On this occasions they were dismissed for 113 with Joe Daggett (34) and Jake Starkey (31) their main contributors as Thomas Rhea picked up 6-43. Ashley Suddes made an unbeaten 56 to guide New Rover to victory.
