Round-up of games played on 27 May

With glorious weather across our area, a full programme was completed, and a much-improved live score service helped everyone to keep in touch with events in the YCSPL. 

 

 

There are new leaders in the Premier Division as the clash between the top two went the way of Sheffield Collegiate, who leapfrogged the previous leaders Tickhill, whilst wins for Cleethorpes and Wakefield Thornes kept them in the hunt, just eight points behind the leaders. 

 

Leaders Tickhill elected to bat first at home to Sheffield Collegiate and, missing Swindells and Mike to county duty, were dismissed for 147, with Jamie Carrington (4-35) and Shaaiq Choudhry (3-33) amongst the wickets, whilst Jim Morgan top-scored for the home side with 47 at the top of the order. With Liam Guthrie (3-39) leading the way, the visitors were made to struggle, but an unbeaten 44 from Samuel Meadows saw them to a three-wicket win with five over to spare, opener Abdul Faseeh having earlier contributed 31. Treeton elected to bat first at Field Lane, but found batting difficult against Matty Taylor and Joshua Hen-Boisen, who both took 3-32; Sam Drury top-scoring with 33. After opener Kieran Donnachie had made 34, Wakefield Thornes wobbled a bit at 89-4, but Shubham Sharma (54 not out) and Jawad Akhtar (37 not out) saw them to a six-wicket win with 17 overs left. Aston Hall elected to bat first at Chichester Road, and were restricted to 185-9, Kieran Brooker taking 5-45 for Cleethorpes, whilst Nasir Omar made 30 for the visitors. Tom Keast (108 not out off 98 balls) and Bill Kirby (43) put on an opening stand of 137 to settle the game in favour of the home side, who won with nine wickets and 17 overs to spare.

After deciding to bat first, Bilal Anjam (31) and Tanzeel Ali (131 off 137 balls) put on 55 for the fourth wicket to help them recover from 14-3. Shahban Raheem (32) and Joe Denby (30 not out) then helped Ali post an unassailable 293-9. Despite 30 each from Nick Dymock and Joe Cooper, the visitors were never really in the hunt after Moin Ashraf took three early wickets to reduce them to 57-4, and Bilal mopped up the tail with 3-13 as they were all out for 188. Only Montcin Hodge (48) of Whitley Hall’s top order really got going after they won the toss and elected to bat against Doncaster Town at Town Fields, James Dobson (4-35) and James Keast (5-37) doing the damage for the home side. The visitors rallied from 56-7 to reach 126, but thirties from Jaden Fell and James Ward saw the home side to victory with four wickets and 13 overs to spare, despite Dan Waldron’s 3-41. Finally, at Shaw Lane, Appleby Frodingham earned their first win of the season, by 93 runs over Barnsley Woolley Miners, after winning the toss and batting first at Shaw Lane. Jordan Neil (118 not out off 149 balls) and Kieran Lindley (52) put on 120 for the fourth wicket, as the visitors clocked up 221-4. After being 34-7 in reply, only an eighth-wicket stand of 81 between Ollie Jackson (46) and Harvey Round (43) prevented further embarrassment for the home side, whilst Matthew Harris took 6-44 for the visitors. 

 

 

Houghton Main and Wickersley Old Village remain joint top of the Championship after comfortable wins.

Luke Ogden (166 not out off 135 balls) and Liam Wiles (189 off 140) complied a new league record stand for any wicket of 314 for Cawthorne at Conisbrough. Replying to a massive 401-4, a highly improbable task became impossible after the home side were reduced to 25-3, but thirties from Danyaal Latif, Dawud Hafejee and Buddhika Sanjeewa gave them some respectability before being bowled out for 204 with ten overs left. Visiting skipper Mike Jepps took three of the last four wickets to finish with 3-48. Shiregreen maintained their top-half place with an 84-run win over Sheffield Collegiate 2nds at Abbeydale. A last wicket stand of 60 between Muhammad Naseem (38 not out) and Abdul Lateef took the visitors up to 166, after Matt Tyas and Tate Miller had take three wickets each. Ibrahim Kahn Safi (5-29) then ensured that this modest target was more than adequate and Collegiate were all out for 82. Darfield leap-frogged Sprotbrough to move back into the top half of the table with a 57-run win at Melton Road. Opener Ashley Potter carried his bat for an unbeaten 75, with support from Kastun Stoute (43) and Riecko Parker-Cole (39), as the visitors reached 228-8. Alex Rudkin then hit 58 at the top of the order but received little support against Idris Khan (3-43) and Saman Kursheed (4-38), and the home side were all out for 171. 

 

 

A clash between the top two in Division 1 saw the Ackworth juggernaut rumble on as they increased their lead at the top of the table to 32 points. They owed a lot to Amitpaul Kundra, whose 85 off 100 balls was the backbone of their 173-run win away to Rockingham Colliery.

The visitors won the toss and asked Town to bat first, Alex Keeton (4-48) and Habil Arshad (3-41) then reducing the home side to 108-8, before late order resistance took them to 164, only Bilal Hanif (34) of the upper order reaching double figures. Christopher Pearson (43), Dean Smith (50 not out) and Connor Sanderson (34) then steered the visitors to victory, Arslan Tariq taking all three wickets to fall. The closest game in the division came at Bawtry Road, where Sheffield United beat Green Moor by seven runs. Choosing to bat first, United reached 171-9, Zaki Anjam (34) and Fazil Reza (39) taking them to 63-1 before Chris Matthewman (3-29) stalled their progress, and the home side were then grateful to Mihindukulasuriya Perera for an unbeaten 30 at number ten. In reply, Matthewman then contributed 75 before being ninth out at 155; Ilyas Mohammed (4-27) and Stephen Baxter (3-16) being the main wicket-takers as the visitors were all out for 164. Finally, Whitley Hall 2nds had a 100-run win over Oughtibridge War Memorial at Baxter Field.
