DIVISION One teams Thackley and Smart Moves remain unbeaten after three rounds of the Bradford & District Evening League.

Yet Thackley were pushed all the way by visitors Tong Park Esholt, for whom Chris Holdsworth (34no) contributed some vital runs.

Daniel Metcalfe (3-20) pegged back the hosts but a crucial stand between Jack Holland (33) and Tom Johnson (28) took them to a two-wicket win.

Rahat Shah, who plays his Saturday cricket for Kirkheaton, was the key player in Smart Moves' victory at Denholme.

With the visitors reeling at 52-5, he contributed 31 vital runs to help his side to 102-6. He then proved equally effective with the ball, taking 4-13 – including the vital wicket of Callum Gerrard (35) – as the home side replied with 76-8.

Defending champions Salem Athletic recorded their first win of the current season, triumphing by three wicket at home to Shelf with one ball remaining.

All-rounder Shahzada Khan was unlucky to finish on the losing team as his contribution of 3-10 and 34 was not enough to stop Thornton claiming a ten-run win at Great Horton Park Chapel.

In Division Two, Cross Roads & Daisy Hill were left to rue not batting out their overs as they were dismissed for 130 with an over to spare, Byron Greenwood top-scoring with 37.

A six and a four off the first and third ball of the final over from Shakeel Arshad proved enough for Cambing to claim the points.

Bala Krishen (48) led the way in Indian Panthers' 112-8 but Shipley Providence were dismissed for 90 in reply.

In contrast, Stonewhite recorded a home win against Mayfield in a high-scoring game of nearly 270 runs.

Kevin McDermott (53no) and Danny Holah (43no) were instrumental in leading John Breare to 139-3. Only Scott Richardson (50no) then offered any resistance as Buttershaw St Paul's were dismissed for 114.
