Conisbrough struggled from the off, and were reeling at 12-3 until Kelly came to the fore to produce 100 and add 82 for the fourth wicket in a profitable partnership with Scott Lowe who made 38. Ben Scott also performed well with 28 as Conisbrough managed 192-7 by the close.

Ian Walker took three wickets for Fishlake while Gary Strephan claimed another two.

Strephan then took up the mantle with the bat to knock an unbeaten 81 and guide his side to victory.

Charlie Metcalfe added 40 and Mark Davis 23 to steer Fishlake home at 195-4. Any damage done was largely down to Paul Jackson who claimed 3-48 from 14 overs.

Four wickets and 87 runs from a champagne Daniel Owen performance provided the catalyst for Hooton Pagnell to see off near neighbours Frickley Colliery, by six wickets.

Opener Richard Belk proved a resolute prospect for Hooton to deal with as he stood firm while half of his team-mates were dismissed with the score ambling up to 72.

Belk made 28 and with 21 from George McIntyre and Shane Payne's 43, Frickley managed to reach 143. Owen's 4-52 was superbly supported by Steve Hardaker's impressive 3-13 while Sam Illsley took 2-44.

Owen then opened the response with his excellent 87 which featured a fourth wicket partnership of 69 with the reliable Alwyn Dyke, who was then joined by Luke Lodge to see Hooton over the line and finish unbeaten on 21 and 16 respectively as part of the 147-4 innings.

Lee Capstick, Payne, Barry Wathey and Paul Kirkham claimed the wickets for Frickley.

Rock-bottom Wombwell Main managed to salvage three points from a 110 run defeat at defending champions Streethouse.

Healthy knocks of 82, 62 and 50 from Roy Vigars, J Hughes and K Langley respectively helped Streethouse total 267-6 that would always be out of reach of Wombwell.

Chris Bond top scored with 49 as Wombwell made 157 while Martin Rhodes claimed 4-34 for Streethouse.

Other results: Ackworth 173-0 Crofton 169-8; Featherstone Town 224-7 Sprotbrough 123; Old Sharlston 248-7 Barnby Dun 187-5.

DIVISION TWO
UPPER Haugh stayed on track with their top flight promotion bid, thanks to an excellent all round showing from Rob Oxberry as they earned maximum points from a three wicket win at Fairburn.

Oxberry claimed 4-16 while Michael Clarke also took four wickets for the loss of 31 to make life difficult for Fairburn who were all done for 157.

To follow up his polished bowling performance, Oxberry produced an unbeaten 70 in Haugh's winning response of 159-7 which kept them top-of-the-table.

Promotion rivals South Kirkby fell off the pace with a five-wicket defeat at home to Stainborough. Nicky Percival got Kirkby going with a decent 32, but a fifth wicket partnership of 79 from Dale Woolsey and Jack Birkby – who made 73no and 32 respectively – helped lift them to 180-5.

An opening stand of 57 by P Hanson and B McLee who made 26 and 62 respectively set Stainborough on course for victory, while P Archer and L McFayden saw the innings to a close with unbeaten 45 and 22, and guide them to 184-5 in the 40th over. Steve Scott and Dean Woolsey both took two wickets for Kirkby.

Other results: Askern Welfare 129 Allerton Bywater 101; Sandal 184 Monk Bretton 185-3; Thorne Colliery 142-7 Rothwell 235-6; Whitley Bridge 161-9 Darton 143.

DIVISION THREE
CONISBROUGH had a major boost in their survival bid with a 10-point haul from their 29-run win over West Bretton at Park Lane.

Lively knocks of 50, 43 and 40 from Mark Neale, N Lovell and Bob Fuller respectively sent Conisbrough up to 198 against strong bowling from R Smith who claimed 6-36. While J Winwood and S Knowles narrowed the gap for Bretton, they were all out for 169 thanks largely to Lee Roberts' 5-48 effort.

In contrast, fellow strugglers, Frickley Colliery's hopes of avoiding the drop are fading after a 99-run defeat to Normanton St Johns left them adrift with neighbours Ryhill and Havercroft.

Michael Tudor and Suf Patel provided the basis for the Saints knock with 31 and 32 respectively but number seven batsman Steve Goodwin put them truly in the driving seat with a rapid 92 while Ian Ewan posted 28 to see them to 260-9.

Frickley threw in nine bowlers in a bid to stop Normanton with Richard Caton the most successful with 4-52.

Opener Keith Whitehouse hit 93 to put Frickley in a decent position but he found no support for his 14-boundary haul as only Matt Charlton, Richard Caton and James Handley made more than 15 but none reached 20 as the side were all done for 161.

A Wright snared 3-15 and C Bryant 3-48 to ensure victory for Normanton.

Bottom side Ryhill's woes continued as they went down to a 41 run defeat against visiting Yorkshire Main. Andy Buck top scored for the visitors with 46 as they made 162-7 with Pete Lomas claiming 4-54 for Ryhill. An unbeaten 56 by Paul Batley saw Ryhill find their way up to 121-8 which earned them three points.

Thurnscoe Institute also remain in within the group of four sides that harbour the bottom four after a nine wicket defeat to Nostell St Oswalds.

Craig Simmons and Luke Harper were just shy of their 50s to provide the meat of the Thurnscoe knock of 170. But their efforts were in vain as R Hardmand and W Noble guided Nostell to 171-1 with 89 and 48no respectively.

Other results: Brodsworth Main 174 Ackworth 144-8; Glass Houghton 156 Hatfield Town 160-3.
