TONG Park Esholt have claimed another notable scalp as they strive to retain their Aire-Wharfe League Premier Division status.

Having beaten Adel by one wicket earlier this month, TPE beat defending champions Collingham by five wickets.

Hosts Collingham were sent in, but could only make 115 as Mahir Ali took 6-52 and Shahid Mehmood claimed 3-37.

Dan Groom (36) and Noah Kershaw (27) then put on 60 for the third wicket as the visitors won in the 32nd over to go ninth, 35 points above second-from-bottom Rawdon with four matches left.

Saltaire became the latest victims of Steeton, who cannot stop winning.

The hosts batted first at Roberts Park and made 135, captain Sajad Ali (34) and Abdi-Hasan Ahmed (23) being part of a wagging tail.

Steeton were 99-2 but only got over the line by one wicket in the 34th over as Ihsan Ihsanullah took 5-38 and Ali claimed 3-37.

Bolton Villas took a notable scalp themselves as they won a run-filled contest at Ilkley on Saturday in Division One.

Ilkley made 265-6 after opting to bat, Nachiket Verlekar taking 3-60, but Villas were 39-3 and looked to have little chance of victory.

Verlekar then scored 53 to back up his good bowling performance, but Bilal Ahmed’s 70 was even more crucial, as Villas recovered to win by two wickets off the first ball of the last over.

Bingley Congs are still fourth in Division Two after a comprehensive win at Old Leodiensians.

Congs made 253 after opting to bat, opener Charles Ramsey (56) getting them off to a good start, before Stefan Mather (30) and Neil Copping (48) boosted the total by adding 62 for the sixth wicket.

Leos were then dismissed for 125, with Mohammad Adil taking superb figures of 6-41.

Thackley were in action twice, losing to Kirkstall by three wickets on Saturday before defeating Skipton by 125 runs on Sunday.

They batted first at Kirkstall and could only make 121, Aftab Khan top-scoring with 25.

In the reply, they took seven wickets before the hosts triumphed, the unlucky Khan taking 3-33.

Thackley made 241-4 the following day after winning the toss at Sandylands, No.3 Muhammad Shoaib finishing on a superb 100 not out.

He added 134 unbroken for the fifth wicket with the in-form Khan, who thrashed 63 off 33 deliveries.

Skipton were then castled for 116, with Jack Holland taking 3-24, Craig Wiseman 2-40, Khan 2-30 and Ryan McMillan 2-12.
