Cricket: The Yorkshire duo of Ian Fisher and Anthony McGrath combined as East Bierley shattered the Secure Trust Bank Bradford League's only 100 per cent record.

Fisher took four for 26 with his left arm spin as Division One leaders Farsley were dismissed for 121.

And McGrath made sure his side secured an eight wicket triumph with a forceful innings of 62.

The result enabled East Bierley and the 1997 champions Undercliffe to close to within four points of Farsley.

Former Yorkshire and Somerset off spinner Jeremy Batty played a key part in Undercliffe's five wicket triumph at Brighouse.

Batty (4-14) and the dependable Andy Wilsdon (4-35) skittled Brighouse out for just 97. Undercliffe eased home with openers Mark Gilliver (33) and Chris Schofield (31) making useful contributions.

Hanging Heaton are now fourth in the table after a crushing nine wicket win over struggling Spen Victoria.

Spen's paltry total of 103 for eight proved to be insufficient as Hanging Heaton openers David Payne (60) and Steve Bartle (38no) shared a first wicket stand of 85.

Pudsey Congs overcame the shock of seeing their first three batsmen dismissed for ducks to record their first win of the season by just six runs against battling Bankfoot.

Skipper Matthew Doidge revived their innings with 52 and received good support from wicketkeeper Matthew Duce (33) and Yorkshire paceman Matthew Hoggard (34) as a total of 179 for eight was posted.

Bankfoot also made a disastrous start and were 45 for six at one point before former Bowling Old Lane player Gurdav Singh struck a fine 72.

His innings was eventually ended by left arm paceman Gary Severn who finished with five for 55 as Bankfoot were dismissed for 173.

Champions Bradford & Bingley rattled up the day's biggest total of 239 for five against Cleckheaton thanks to a second wicket stand of 180 between Richard Wilkinson (85) and Martin South (80). Cleckheaton were 108 for five in reply when rain intervened.

Yeadon remained top of Division Two after a tense four run win over Lidget Green. Dave Gormley was their hero hitting 60 and taking three for 32.

Drighlington's Iqbal Khan, who set a new league run scoring record last season, made an unbeaten 79 as his side beat Salts.
