Selby II are emulating their first XI by topping division six and have a lead of 24 points after easily beating Wilberfoss.

Kevin Davison hit a half century for 'Foss but Steve Whitehead kept them in check with 4-24 and a score of 102-8 in a 39-over game proved to be inadequate as Steve Whisker (29) and Scott Smith (54) took Selby to an eight-wicket win.

Dringhouses maintained their drive with a good draw at Thorp Arch whose final pair prevented an outright win for the second placed club.

Les Graham top-scored for the York-based side with 68 while Geoff Smith made 45 and John Yorke 25. However, the home side claimed full bowling points as Graham Casey took 5-48 and Simon Bell (3-35) to bowl out the opposition for 195.

Two batsmen then performed well for the Boston unit with John Orrell hitting 56 and Paul High an unbeaten 57. Their side made 177-9 despite a fine bowling effort by one-time TABS player Dave Storr who took 7-87.

Rowntrees gained full batting points for the third game in succession but were unable to defend their 202-7 as Londesbrough Park completed a double with a four-wicket win.

The first three Rowntree wickets all posted half century stands with Alan Roberts making 44, Andy Main 51 and Steve Aldous 47. Darren Moody (3-56) and Rob Sawyer, who took 3-73, in 22 overs were the pick of Park's bowlers.

The East Yorkshire side were quickly reduced to 23-4 but Dick Salmon 75 and Mark Caulfield 32 then added 116 for the fifth wicket before being out in quick succession. This paved the way for an unbroken stand of 65 between Andy Copeland (36no) and Rob Sawyer (21no) which earned Londesbrough a last over win.
