WICKETKEEPER Darren Wilson was involved in an unusual hat-trick for Tong Park Esholt in the Bradford & District Evening League.

Neil Cooper (4-19) took three wickets in as many balls against defending champions Salem Athletic – all of them stumped by skipper Wilson.

Athletic made 149-8 in the Division One clash but Tong Park triumphed by six wickets against opponents who have only won one game so far this season.

Smart Moves remain unbeaten after restricting early-season leaders Thackley to 87-7 off 16 overs.

Runs proved difficult to come by as Joe Ollerenshaw took 3-23 to see the home side slip from 47-1 to 56-5. But Younis Bismillah (31) played a crucial innings in securing a three-wicket victory.

Denholme lost their first two wickets for one run but dropped catches proved costly as Adam Smith (43) and Charlie Davy (51no) put on 92 to help them to 150-8.

George Gill (4-15), aided by some good fielding, then restricted Great Horton Park Chapel to 109-7.

Shelf moved up to third after a tight win over Thornton, Zahir Shah (50no) and Safdar Khan (52no) playing vital knocks in Shelf's 163-5.

Tom Mackenzie (50no) and Ross Soames (35) gave Thornton a great chance of victory but two run-outs dented their chances and they fell nine runs short.

Zeeshan Qasim was the star of the show for Stonewhite, producing a remarkable spell of bowling to inflict a first defeat of the season on John Breare.

Chasing 159-7, Breare were well set at 147-2. But with 13 needed off two overs, Qasim took four wickets for no runs in the penultimate over to swing the match back in his side's favour and they eventually won by nine runs.

Cambing's surprise defeat at Mayfield, combined with Indian Panthers' nine-wicket win against Cross Roads & Daisy Hill, means only two points separate the top five.

Scott Richardson (21) and Abubaker Dawood (24) were the main contributors in Buttershaw's 107-6 as they recorded their first win of the season by 14 runs against Shipley Providence.
