Bradford and Bingley may have won the Priestley Cup, but their hopes of a double celebration with promotion from Division Two of the Specialist Ducting Supplies Bradford League now seems a long shot.

With second-placed Bankfoot having a rest day, it was an ideal opportunity for them to put pressure on the Odsal club, who are at leaders Saltaire next Saturday.

But instead of the third-placed side cutting the deficit to four points, they remain ten points behind Bankfoot with just five matches remaining.

Lightcliffe spoilt Bingley's day, first by scoring 230 for eight and then by dismissing them for 197.

Jonathan Wilson (103) and junior Greg Finn (32) added 83 for Lightcliffe's second wicket, and James Horne weighed in with 36 down the order.

Bingley lost their skipper Carl Sharp without a run on the board, but Richard Nichols (28) and Gary Topp (67) put on 67 for the second wicket and Topp and Sam Anderson (31) added 62 for the fourth. After that, however, Daniel Tesseyman (4-45) held sway.

Bowling Old Lane must have had Saltaire worried at Roberts Park. The visitors were 95 for three (Taheer Khan 26, Wajid Hussain 37) chasing 171 only to collapse to 120 all out, Ijaz Khan taking five for 19 and Irfan Fazil four for 49.

Saltaire did well to reach 170 for nine having been 120 for eight, and that was down to Tahir Mahmmod (22 not out) and Khan (16 not out).

Earlier Mansha Khan (20), Ziarat Ashraf (20) and Wasim Munawar (43) had laid the platform before Haseeb Younis (4-49) induced a middle-order collapse.

Keighley narrowed the gap on Bingley to a point with a winning draw at Brighouse. Lee Gordon (50) and Matthew Bottomley (52) added 118 for the second wicket in Keighley's 202 for six, left-arm spinner David Jay taking three for 66 in 20 overs.

Richard Robinson passed 1,000 runs for Brighouse during his 52, putting on 76 for the first wicket with Phil Carter, put they only finished on 167 for six, despite Jamie marchant's unbeaten 56.

Elsewhere there was joy for bottom club Hartshead Moor, who notched their first victory of the season. They restricted visitors Salts to 169 all out, Mazhar Bhatti making 43 and Mohammed Maroof 32 as Adil Ladak made hay with six for 32. Moor's overseas player Chris Welsford then hit an unbeaten 114 out of 173 for four.

Vivek Mahajan, who beat Robinson to four figures a fortnight previously, was in the news again for Esholt, making 53 in their 140-run win over Windhill.

Shabaz Khan (33 and seven for 54) was in fine form for Manningham Mills in their 21-run victory over Great Horton, and other bowling heroes were Paul Kinder (morley), whose six for 38 outshone David Maloney's seven for 70 for opponents Drighlington.

You have to feel for Gomersal in Division One. They racked up 291 for six - their best score of the season - at Farsley, but still lost by four wickets with three balls to spare. Chris Schofield (76) and skipper Bradley Parker (126) added 176 for the third wicket for Gomersal, but they had to bow to Ashley Metcalfe (87), Nahim Ashraf (66 not out) and James Ward (45).

Time is rapidly running out for Gomersal and second-from-bottom Yeadon, who lost by three wickets at Idle.

James Todd (38) and John Carey (23) took Yeadon to a promising 58 for one, but leg-spinner Steve Lawrence then made up for some expensive overs at the start of his spell by taking seven for 48 as the visitors were toppled for 134.

There were some uneasy moments in Idle's reply, but Mohammed Salman (52) and Chris Thompson (21) calmed some nerves in a stand of 53.

Chief hope for Yeadon now is to catch East Bierley, who have slipped to third from bottom after a six-wicket home defeat against Cleckheaton.

Richard Gould (101) and Jonathan Proud (43) gave Bierley another great start with a 119 stand out of 215 for five, but Cleck won in 43.5 overs thanks to Ian Austin (78 not out) and Andrew Gale (61).

Leaders Pudsey Congs won by four wickets at home to Baildon, but might not have done were it not for a gutsy 21 not out by Andrew Bairstow. He came to the wicket under much pressure with David Wigley and Phil Slater firing on all cylinders, but showed his mettle after a poor season.

Rao Anjum (62 and four for 61) was an all-round star for second-placed Spen Victoria, who got a winning draw at home to Woodlands.
