Mark Ross and Steve Wales both hit centuries as North Leeds and Guiseley sent Aire-Wharfe records tumbling at Old Park Road.

Guiseley skipper Ross hit an unbeaten 159 while Wales cracked 112 in North Leeds' reply as both sides set a new record for runs scored in one game with an amazing 675.

It comfortably beat the previous record of 600 runs set four years ago when Steeton beat North Leeds.

Guiseley and North Leeds' run-spree last weekend was also the first time in the Aire-Wharfe League's 67-year history that both sides have scored more than 300 runs in the same game.

Guiseley claimed four points from the winning draw after amassing 350-6 from 50 overs, Ross receiving admirable support from Howard Reeve (81) and Chris Underwood (40).

In reply, North Leeds looked capable of beating Gusieley's huge total when fourth-wicket pair Steve Wales and Nigel Baker were cracking the ball at will. However, with North Leeds still 90 runs short the partnership came to an end after the duo had put 122 runs on together with Wales being dismissed for 122.

Baker followed soon after for 82 with North Leeds eventually finishing on 325-8 to claim two points.

Guiseley remain in third place on 22 points, three behind Bilton and a further seven adrift of Menston.

The league leaders' fine early season form continued with a six-wicket triumph over title-rivals Otley. Opener Gary Thompson hit an unbeaten 72 to ensure Menston claimed their fifth win of the season, three more than any other side in Division A.

Steeton, in contrast, slipped to the bottom despite claiming two points from a losing draw at Collingham. Chasing the home side's 226-9, Steeton finished 20 runs short with two wickets in hand thanks mainly to fine knocks from Andrew Dalby (60no) and Gary Boulton (43).

Green Lane moved off the bottom although they remain in the relegation places after a fine century from Garfield Williams helped earn a winning draw at Adel. Barry McCormick also hit 52 and Steve Hargreaves 44 as Green Lane posted a total of 278-7 before Adel replied with 184-9.

Burley's title hopes in Division B took a knock as they lost at leaders Kirkstall, a result that saw them slip four places to fifth. Ian Normington top-scored with 47 as Burley hit 206-7 before Kirkstall cantered to a seven-wicket triumph.

Rawdon moved up to second thanks to a six-wicket victory at struggling Harden with Bruce Percy hitting 66 for the promotion chasers. Bardsey's final pair hung on for the last seven balls to frustrate Silsden who had to settle for a winning draw. Darren Crook hit 54 as Silsden were bowled out for 154 before going on to claim three wickets as Bardsey finished on 133-9.

Bardsey remain bottom, two points behind Thackley who were comprehensively beaten by 98 runs at Ilkley. Opener Jonathan Hughes hit 106 for Ilkley before 18-year-old Anhtony Giles continued his fine recent form by claiming 5-45 to shoot Thackley out for 138.

Colton top Division C after beating Ben Rhydding by seven wickets with Skipton a further eight points behind in second place.

Robert Dilger hit 55 to help Skipton to 264-7 but they had to settle for a winning draw against a Pool Mills side who finished on 207-4 in reply.

Addingham remain third despite losing to Horsforth by seven wickets while Bolton Villas are fourth. Steve Wilson hit 42 for Villas who were bowled out for 127 at Upper Wharfedale. David Whitfield then led the successful reply with 56 not out as Wharfedale coasted to victory by seven wickets.
