Pace bowlers Dave Maloney and Robert Ramsden powered Shelf to victory over Luddenden Foot in Halifax League Division Three.

Luddenden won the toss but were made to regret electing to bat as they were reduced to 15 for five.

A half-century stand enabled the visitors to reach 70 without further loss but once this was broken the tail collapsed as Maloney (4-32) and Ramsden (6-37) ended the innings for 77.

Shelf opening batsmen Andy Dimbleby’s 32 not out then ensured a seven-wicket victory.

There was also a comfortable six-wicket victory for Shelf seconds as they moved second in the table after beating Greetland, who were dismissed for 143.
