Keighley were denied a maximum six points when the weather cut short their game against Great Horton.

They had the visitors struggling on 121-9 with four overs remaining when the umpires called a halt due to bad light and light rain.

After heavy overnight rain it was surprising that the game started on time, and for the second successive game Keighley were asked to bat first. Openers Broadley and Gordon made a steady start, but wickets fell at regular intervals just as the batsmen were looking to go on to individual good scores.

After a brief interruption for rain youngster Gulsheraz continued his good start to the season with an exciting knock of 46 as Keighley reached the useful total of 195.

Great Horton were never up with the pace as openers Towler and Gulsheraz again bowled very tightly.

However, it was first change bowle, former captain Steve Reape, who caused most damage with a six-wicket haul.

Once again Keighley's fielding was excellent, Birkett and Jacques taking good slip catches, but it was all to no avail as the weather restricted them to just one point.
