New boys Woodlands and Mirfield are having no trouble settling in.

The clubs who left the Central Yorkshire League at the end of last season continue to set the pace at the top of their sections in the Second Division.

Unbeaten Woodlands maintained their four-point lead in the Bowes Section after beating Keighley at home by eight wickets, while Mirfield are joint top of the Verity Section with Lightcliffe after an eight-wicket win at Windhill.

Lightcliffe had an even more emphatic victory, beating Manning-ham Mills away by ten wickets.

Keighley never properly recovered after losing openers Alan Broadley and Lee Gordon for one, and were all for 92 after their last six wickets crashed for 25. Australian Joel Crouch (49) was last out.

Woodlands' overseas player Safraz Ahmed bowled unchanged, taking four for 48 in 24 overs, while Richard Spittlehouse took five for 27 in 14.1.

Woodlands lost two wickets for 29, but opener Russell Murray (28) and skipper Tim Orrell (55 including two sixes and ten fours) shared an unbroken third-wicket stand of 64.

Second-placed Idle continued their impressive sequence with a 17-run win at bottom club Drighlington.

Openers Graham Dobson (60) and Hassan Adnan (42) laid the foundations of their 203 for six with a stand of 90, Craig Hunt then hitting 46.

Skipper Richard Whitehurst led Drighlington's brave effort with 76 (five sixes, eight fours), but when he was third out at 156 the innings crumbled and they lost their last eight wickets for 30, Stuart Dobson taking seven for 48.

Bankfoot stayed in touch with the leaders after a tense three-run win at Saltaire. Mohammed Waseem took six for 48 as Bankfoot totalled 120. Saltaire were staring defeat in the face at 64 for eight, but Graeme Williams (42 not out) and skipper Bob Hodson (10) took them to within three runs of their target with a last-wicket stand of 26.

Great Horton's new Australian batsman Shaun Fitzsimmons hit an explosive 64 (seven sixes, four fours) out of 143, but visitors Morley won by seven wickets, overseas opener Colin Nuthall scoring 60 not out.

Lightcliffe bowlers Mubashir Nazir (4-34) and James Horne (5-35) bowled Mills out in 22 overs for 69.

Mirfield's chief wicket-takers were overseas bowler Mohammed Asif (4-21) and John Storey (4-15).

Esholt dismissed Bowling Old Lane for 73 to win by ten wickets, Ben Lister taking four for 36 and Michael Oldfield four for 21. Then Kiwi Lou Vincent led them to victory with 64 .

Salts' improved form continued at Hartshead Moor, where they won a high-scoring match by four wickets, Qasim Baig making 50 not out.
