AIREDALE and Wharfedale League newcomers Harden produced a century maker in the prolific Andy Moulds.

He notched 121 from the opening spot as his side rattled up 225-6. He gained support from Paul Spencer with 38 no. Horsforth hung on at 91-8 to draw with their opener Ian Smellie making 31.

Micky Birts continued his good form with a half-century opening the innings for Bolton Villas and his side went on to make 189.

Tony Jennings picked up 4-51 for Ben Rhydding who were then shot out for a mere 49 as M Hay claimed 5-27 and M Jones 5-11.

Pool bowler Navbeed Arif is becoming the most feared bowler in the division. He followed up his amazing 9-3 return of the previous week with 6-39 as Colton fell for 116 in reply to Pool's modest 134-7. John Wood (31 no) and Arif (25) had held the Pool innings together. On the bowling front Arif was well backed up by C Wilkinson who claimed 3-19.

Pool Mills gained four points from a drawn game with Upper Wharfedale after posting a score of 175-9.

They lost opener Bernard Thornton cheaply but then Ian Grossett (37) and Jeff Bielby (45) steadied things before Clive Baldwin gave the middle order a boost with a knock of 46 and there was a late flurry of 21 not out from Scott Poole.

With Richard Wilkinson and son Paul bagging seven wickets between them Mills were always in the driving seat despite solid knocks from P Drinkall (34), L Barrett (32) and C Stead (27).

Despite a superb innings of 76 from number three G Harvey Addingham were unable to rub off the 130 made by Thackley.

They had struggled against the bowling of Chris Campbell (4-43) and Richard Simpson. Harvey had little support with only Brad King of the remaining batsmen reaching double figures.
