NEIL Andrews pushed his century tally further, to 17, as the runs flowed freely on Saturday.

He scored a superb 130 as Bradley rattled up 262-6 at Thornton-in-Craven. Neil Robinson was also in the runs with 54.

The Booth Bridge Lane side made a decent enough reply but were never really in the hunt and they closed on 193, Ian Clarkson scoring 44 and Adam Zampatti 39 as Robinson claimed 7-47.

Leaders Embsay batted first at Shires Lane against bottom of the table Skipton CI and they built on an opening partnership of 74 by Simon Bailey 38 and Duncan Bullough. Aided by Paul Barwick's 39, Bullough went on to make 90 in a total of 239. Nick Williamson, with 3-50, was the pick of Skipton CI's bowlers.

The visitors reply saw two wickets go down for 14, before Mark Chisnall's 49 and Williamson's 22 stemmed the tide to get the score to 89-4. Those two were undone by Richard Phillipson who went onto finish with 5-30 as the innings closed on 131, with Stephen Speak taking 4-24 off 13.2 overs.

Second placed Oakworth were involved in a run feast at Cure Hill. Visitors Cullingworth plundered 234-6 in their overs with Adie Powis scoring 78, A Hodgson 60 and Chris Welch 34. Graham Rankin was the most successful bowler, finishing with 4-95.

Oakworth were 27-2 before Adam Fradley and Michael Scarborough put together a splendid 153 run stand for the third wicket which ended with the latter being bowled for 98 in an innings that contained 12 fours and 6 sixes and lasted only 72 balls. But Fradley stayed at the crease to finish on 88no and guide his side to a four wicket win.

Barrowford move into third spot after victory at Haworth. The Bronte side were shot out for 114 with Jamie Rowell top scoring with 32 as M Naeem took 5-17 in 15 overs. Ajmal Choudry led the successful reply with 71no.

Long Lee move up to fourth after they saw off Haworth WE at Golden View. The visitors batted first and were indebted to Graham Ellis, who made 90 of their total of 161. Matt Taylor took 4-21, Chris Taylor 3-33 and Mick Iles 3-29. The Keighley side romped to a seven wicket win thanks mainly to Richard Ayrton 49 and Brian Portlock 43.

Cowling slipped up at home to Denholme, which helps the latter out of the bottom two. Cowling made 177-6, David Watson scoring 42. The visitors passed this for the loss of eight wickets.
