Shipley Providence returned to the top of DIVISION A in the Dales Council after edging out Farnley Hill by three wickets.

Danny Ward bagged five for 41 for Providence and an unbeaten 62 by Carl Pedley then steered them to their target of 167.

Leeds Sikh YMCA kept up the pressure after comfortably disposing of New Farnley as Harcharan Seehra again proved pick of the bowlers with seven for 32.

Former leaders Rodley fell to a 33-run loss against Baildon after Ali Malik had smashed a quickfire 62 to set a target of 191.

Pudsey Congs had skipper Gary Lewsley (77) to thank as they set a target of 200 for Adel – and it was Lewsley who struck off the penultimate ball to secure the victory.

Hepworth & Idle are the new leaders of DIVISION B after crushing Shipley Providence B.

Haki Mistry (73no) and Mark Mills (72no) set up a Hepworth total of 232 for four, before the home side were dismissed for 73.

Former leaders Baildon B surprisingly lost to Rodley B (182-9), Malcolm Woodhead taking five for 28 as they were bowled out for 118.

Pudsey St Lawrence and Esholt tied as Chris Sharkey took the final Esholt wicket to finish with eight for 43 and leave both sides 133 all out.

Hepworth & Idle B maintained their grip on DIVISION C as Malcolm Kershaw helped them to 273 for six before bowling out Hyde Park for 147.

Tyson Illingworth, promoted up the order for Drighlington, smashed 115 not out in a nine-wicket victory over Whitehall.

And Wibsey Park Chapel (195) lost by 93 runs to Mount B despite Michael Staveley’s 69.

• The Dales Council representative side beat Doncaster/Sheffield Alliance by six wickets in the Nixon Inter-League knock-out competition. Harcharan Seehra’s four for eight had helped dismiss the visitors for 108.
