Frickley Colliery's hopes of gatecrashing the title race look to be dead and buried after they lost by six wickets entertaining reigning champions Streethouse.

Colliery started with a decent platform established by Ashley Vickers who hit nine boundaries in his 59 while Tom Stanley struck 10 and Mark Walker 14. But Shane Payne's 43 was the only other decent contribution in the final total of 169.

Streethouse were struggling at 36-4 as Payne continued his individual showing with 3-30, but an unbroken stand by Martin Rhodes and Paul Hazeldene – who hit 58 and 70 – took them to 172-4 in the 40th over.

Wombwell Main's ticket for Division Two is ready to be stamped, as they lost by ten wickets to Ackworth after falling all out for 97. Ackworth reached 101 without loss thanks to 51 from Matthew Jordan and 42 from Roy Young.
