It was all change at the top of Division A after Steeton inflicted a six-wicket defeat on previous leaders Adel to move above them into second position. They are just two points behind new leaders Follifoot.
The three-pronged bowling attack of Neil Spragg, Stuart Hudson and Aussie Grant Lindsey destroyed the Adel batting line-up, taking three wickets apiece as the home side were dismissed for just 112.
That looked to be more than a formality when Steeton lost both openers for just one run between them. But Spragg steadied the ship, staying at the wicket for an unbeaten 42 to see his side home after useful partnerships with Lindsey (26) and Hudson (22).
Silsden could only take two points from their home game against Otley.
The visitors were dismissed for 159, with Andy Pullen leading the way with four wickets.
But after a 73-run opening partnership between John Akrigg (33) and Tim Sugden (40), Silsden lost their way and were hanging on at 121-8 at the close.
