Skipton continue to search for their first win of the Aire-Wharfe Cricket League's season and were never really in the hunt chasing Beckwithshaw's 190 for seven total.

Duncan Grant took four wickets for 45 but when it came to the home team's reply it was the familiar story as wickets fell regularly.

Indeed, a humiliation looked likely until Andrew Fergie hit a half century down the order and Andy Strickland supported with 19 to take Skipton's response to 141 all out.

Silsden held on for a point at 170 for nine as they were faced with a daunting total of 295 posted by Burley, whose D Brook hit 160 not out.

Silsden were in trouble as they were 48 for four at one stage but John Akrigg steadied the ship to hit 57 and there was similar dogged resistance from Hayden Tennant 38 and Andy Pullen 28.

Upper Wharfedale chalked up an easy victory as their batsman made hay on a good wicket against Pool Mills.

Openers Paul Drinkall and Peter Wrathmell helped themselves to 73 and 46 runs respectively and there were significant contributions further down the order from Lee Barrett 81, Tarkin Brown 44 and Duncan Humphreys 34.

Pool Mills were never in the hunt and they were skittled out for just 135, with Brown capping a good day with six wickets for 35 runs.

Among the second teams Skipton looked to have posted a decent total of 216 for seven against Illingworth after S Rashid, batting at five, hit a fine unbeaten 72.

But Illingworth set about the target with relish and opener J Taylor was 82 not out and only two wickets down when the target was reached.

Upper Wharfedale shot out Pool Mills at Grassington for 124 and then had little difficulty knocking off the winning runs, losing only D Roberts for 58 while C Butt was 59 not out.

O Gledhill was a centurion for Steeton Seconds who hit 293 for the loss of only six wickets, J Emmott reaching his half century before being run out.

Opponents Pool were also in the runs but always behind the run rate, scoring 224-4.
