Hanging Heaton were the only winners on a day when rain led to six of Division One's game's being abandoned as one-point draws.

New signing Chris Tolley hit 104 as Hanging Heaton inflicted a second successive defeat on newly-promoted Gomersal.

The former Nottinghamshire player hit three six and 11 fours as he made 104 out of Hanging Heaton's total of 209 for nine.

John Carruthers blasted an unbeaten 36 and followed up by taking four for 40 as Gomersal were dismissed for 158, despite 47 from their skipper Bradley Parker.

Tolley was one of four centurions. The others were Woodlands skipper Tim Orrell, Spen Victoria's Rao Anjum and Baildon's Mushtaq Ahmed.

Mushtaq's was the most explosive innings. He arrived at the crease with his side struggling at 116 for seven against Yeadon and transformed the game during an unbroken partnership of 146 with Tom Atkinson (58no) which is a new Bradford League eighth-wicket record.

The Baildon tail-ender thrashed seven sixes and eight fours as he powered his way to an unbeaten 105 which swelled the score to 262 for seven.

Yeadon had made steady progress to 119 for two with teenage opener James Todd unbeaten on 47, when rain ended play.

Playing against Farsley seems to bring out the best in Spen Victoria's overseas player Rao Anjum. Last season he hit his maiden Bradford League century against them and he followed up on Saturday by scoring his second ton against Ashley Metcalfe's men.

Anjum struck two sixes and 13 fours as he made 103 during a third-wicket stand of 202 with Scott Cunningham who made a determined 86. Spen's total of 291 for six was their highest since their return to the top flight in 2001 but rain dampened their hopes of forcing a victory.

There was a 66-minute delay before Farsley could start their reply which meant 22 overs were deducted and when a second shower sent the players running for cover with the home side on 65 for three, the umpires abandoned play.

Spen's was the highest total of the day but the highest individual score was made by Orrell for Woodlands against Idle. Five sixes and ten fours flowed from his bat as he made 122 not out in his side's 237 for seven.

Idle were tottering at 123 for five when rain ended play after 35 overs of their reply. New overseas player Ijaz

Ahmed, the Pakistani Test batsman, made an inauspicious start. He was trapped lbw by Richard Spittlehouse for a duck.

Perhaps Ijaz can take consolation from the efforts of Tolley. He made a duck on his Bradford League debut last week and bounced back with a century in his second innings. Ijaz wasn't the only big name to finish with a nought to his name. Cleckheaton's new skipper Ian Austin suffered the same fate in his side's rain-affected draw with Mirfield.

Cleckheaton were just 15 runs short of forcing victory with three wickets in hand when the match was abandoned. Yorkshire and England under-19 batsman Andrew Gale led the run chase with a brisk 95. Mark Fairburn had earlier made 78 to steer Mirfield to a total of 189 for six. Former Lancashire and England one-day star Austin did have some joy with the ball. He took three for 41.

Undercliffe had Pudsey Congs in early difficulties at the Britannia Ground. The champions slipped to 39 for four before wicketkeeper Gary Brook (46no), skipper Matthew Doidge (39) and Neil Gill (38no) led a recovery which took the total to 189 for five.

Undercliffe openers Mark Gill (42no) and Zube Raje (32no) had shared an unbroken partnership of 89 when rain ended the match.

Yorkshire all-rounder Gavin Hamilton turned out for East Bierley against Pudsey St Lawrence and provided evidence that the problems he suffered last season are a thing of the past. Hamilton made 39 and, more importantly, took two for six as he enjoyed a rare bowl for East Bierley.

The highlight of the match was a knock of 79 by opener Richard Gould which was the cornerstone of East Bierley's total of 220 for five. St Lawrence were relieved when the rain brought an early end to the match because they were struggling at 78 for six.
