Silsden picked up five points in a rain-affected Division B match at Ilkley.

A half-century from opener John Akrigg (53) followed by another 50 from Chris Thornton set Silsden up for a handy total of 213 for nine in a match which had to be reduced to 43 overs when rain fell midway through their innings.

Ilkley's Richard Simpson took six for 63.

Ilkley struggled against the bowling of Andy Pullen, who took five for 58, and were never in the hunt for the runs reaching 134 for seven in their 43 overs.

Steeton lost ground on the leaders after their clash with Bilton was abandoned soon after they had started their reply to Bilton's 186 for four.

They now trail leading clubs Adel and Follifoot by five points. Skipton were well beaten by 119 runs by Calverley and are nine points adrift of safety at the foot of Division B.
