WYNN Cup holders Carleton went through in double quick time at home to Jimmy Nelson's.

The visitors were shot out for a mere 31 in just 20.1 overs, only D Hope reaching double figures and seven batsmen failed to trouble the scorers.

Peter Wrathmell did most of the damage with seven for 17 and Steve Carling took three for 12. Carleton were not held up for long as Adam Greenwood scored 31no in a nine wicket win.

Beaten finalists Oakworth also went through. Cowling found the going tough and struggled to 135 for seven, the highlight being a splendid knock of 71no by veteran Stephen Dalby.

Oakworth secured victory by seven wickets after 31 overs, thanks mainly to a belligerent 47 from Jason Lockley which included five sixes.

Haworth beat Chatburn by three wickets after the Ribblesdale side reached 158 for six, Ted Topham scoring 47no and J Braithwaite 46 and Jamie and Damian Rowell taking three wickets each.

The hero for Haworth was bowler Richard Godden, who hit 54no to lead his team to victory.

Upper Wharfedale made 167 for eight at Bradley, Jason Waddington leading the way with 48. Paul Wilkinson took five for 93 for Bradley but they could only muster 101 in reply with K Barton taking five for 35.

Keighley Tech were no match for Foulridge, who plundered 263 for seven, including Matthew Lutz's century. The Tech were swept aside for just 67, Ian Shoesmith making 34 of them without being dismissed while Mohammad Nawaz took a hat-trick in figures of five for 13.

Skipton CI are out of the competition after conceding 186 for six at home to Pendle Forest and being skittled out for 102, Nick Williamson faring best with 27.

A shock was on the cards at Victory Park where Barnoldswick III's youthful side under the guiding hand of an ageing Colin Maud held a formidable attack at bay. However runs were hard to find and the innings closed with the Barlickers on 75, Mick Bowker top scoring with 19.

What happened next was amazing as Long Lee's batsmen were trudging back to the hut with the score on 14 for five after 10 overs. Alas for Barlick, Chris Taylor and Buster Bailey steered them to victory without further loss, Bowker finishing with four for 19.

Barrowford made 140 for eight against Cononley, whose Geoff Iveson took three for 52. Cononley only reached 88 for eight at the close of their 45 overs.

There was tense match at Thornton, home to Embsay. The home side made 125 for nine thanks to Brian Laycock's 32no and Tim Gates' 26 against the three wickets of Steve Speak and Scott Robinson.

Embsay were 101 for three off 35 overs when David Hold was brought into the attack and took three quick wickets, including mainstay Duncan Bullough for 48 to set nerves tingling. It was left to Speak to clatter a boundary to give Embsay a three wicket win.

Ingrow St John's slumped to 62 all out at Glusburn, whose Andy Town took four for 28 and who then romped home by five wickets.

Gargrave smashed 311 for four at Haworth West End. There was a century for T Buckle and E Moorhouse fell agonisingly one run short of the ton. West End were all out for 67.
