BURLEY booked a semi-final spot for the fifth time in six years in the Aire-Wharfe League's Waddilove Cup with 72-run win at Ben Rhydding.

With Charlie Swallow (5-51) plugging away, Burley did not find runs easy to come by and were thankful for a half-century from Charlie Davy and useful contributions from Jason Wright (34), Dan Revis (28) and Tom Day (28) to get them to 204-8.

Forrest Hamilton and Lewis Bolton gave Ben Rhydding a steady start but when Bolton was out at 40, they suffered something of a collapse.

Five wickets went down for the addition of 12 runs, with Wright picking up two in consecutive balls.

Shane Etherington (3-14) captured three of Ben Rhydding's top batsmen and they were bowled out for just 132, with No 10 Tom Pratt top-scorer on 18.

Ryan Sharrocks completed a brilliant personal weekend with a match-winning display for Horsforth against Ilkley.

After a four-wicket haul in the league, his seven-over spell of 5-14 saw Ilkley bowled out for 163, in which Alex Bailey (39) and Jonathan Hughes (29) were the main contributors.

Horsforth made a shaky start to their reply. Henry Wilson trapped Leon Harber for a duck in the first over and Rob Spivey picked up three cheap wickets to have the home side struggling at 32-4.

But Mark Gilliver (64no) put on 76 with Sharrocks (36) and 59 alongside Bailey Worcester (28no) to clinch a five-wicket win.

Jamie Pickering took 4-11 in a 3.3-over spell as Collingham were dismissed for 162 and then hit 45 as, with Josh Atkinson (47), Otley repeated the victory they had in last year's final.

Thackley's miserable weekend continued when Bilton skittled them out for 101 on the way to a nine-wicket victory.

Meanwhile, Steeton, Beckwithshaw, Guiseley and North Leeds are through to the second-team Birtwhistle Cup semi-finals.
