Last year’s beaten finalists Oakworth progressed to round three when Long Lee conceded.

The West Craveners were dismissed for 138, with Kevin Pollard (36), Mark Paxton (25no) and David Scothern (21) being the main contributors as Harry McEneaney took 3-26.

The latter followed this with 27 and Joe Metcalfe made 22 in the hosts' total of 94, with Shane Taylforth claiming 4-16.

Two of the lower clubs in Division One, Cowling and Embsay, met at The Coliseum.

The hosts went first and battled their way to 147-8. Charlie Hassan (44) and skipper Graham Rishton (23) were the main contributors as Phil Binner (2-20) was the best bowler.

The Shires Laners were always on the back foot in reply, and when the score reached 106-7 at the end of the 31st over it was game on. Stephen Speak (24no) and Billy Winterburn (19no) took them to the next round with an unbeaten partnership of 43. Hassan (3-33) bowled very tidily.
