PREMIER DIVISION

 

On a day that saw  one bowler claim nibe wickets and three others eight wicket hauls, pride of place again goes to Thirsk’s Barry Petty who claimed his eighth eight wicket haul to move into third place in the records behind Duncan Steel and Steve Whitaker who each took 8 wickets in an innings on 10 occasions. Just three weeks after claiming 8 for 47 against Dunnington, Petty grabbed 8 for 33 to send bottom placed Hull Zingari to a 134 run defeat. Petty’s latest octet was his sixth in the top flight and puts him level with Mick Oldfield who had a similar number of 8 wicket hauls prior to the establishment of the premier division.  Thirsk’s total of 211-7 was built on a 2nd wicket stand of 124 between Liam McKendry 63 and Gary Bolton 62 and was 60 runs better than any other premier total on a day dominated by bowlers.Shaun Holmes made 30 as Andy hamson took 4-54 before his side were swept out for a mere 77 as Petty became the first bowler to reach 50 premier division wickets in the current campaign

 

Six days after posting a record 151 for the League’s representative side, Acomb’s Andy Tute again hit the century trail as he raced to an unbeaten 103 to sweep his side to an 8 wicket win over bottom placed malton & Old Malton. Gary hall made 40 for malton but Adrian Fong 3-47 and Andy Tute 3-32 joined forces to dismiss them for 125. Tute then totally dominated Acomb’s successful reply making all but 24 of the winning total of 127-2.

 

A devastating spell of 7 for 47 by Leo Smith set up Pickering’s first York Senior League victory over Dunnington and went a considerable way to ensuring premier division security for the Ryedale side.  Smith’s haul included the prize scalp of Collis King as no Dunnington batsman reached 25. With Smith getting good support from Rob Aconley 3-56, Dunnington, who had to relinquish the toss due to late arrival, were dismissed for 104.  Pickering successful reply of 105-3, had George Rounthwaite making 42no and Colin Frank 26.

 
In division one, West Indian tennyson Roach took 8 for 64 for Folkton & Flixton at beverley but the home side managed to cling on for a draw with their last pair at the crease. A remarkable game at Clifton Alliance in Division two saw home bowler Richard Carroll take 8-89 as promotion favourites Ripon were dismissed for 155 but then saw Richard Hooks retaliate with ( for 48 to bowl the Alliance out for 107.
