The Hunters York Senior League Joe Lumb XI continued their winning habit, beating Craven at Embsay by eight wickets.
Heworth's Dan Walton set up the win, claiming five wickets in his first six allotted overs, reducing the home side to 26-6. Walton finished with 5-26, Brendan Ledgeway 2-7, Gary Wray 2-3, and Neil Laidlaw 1-14.
Laidlaw also took two fine slip catches, and a skier at mid-wicket, to add to his contribution. Craven were finally dismissed for 82.
When York replied Stephen Sacks and Ben Hough continued where they left off in the last game against Wetherby when they enjoyed an unbroken stand of 278.
This time they were parted when the score was 54 when skipper Sacks was out for 20. Hough went on to make 43 of the 83 required for victory.
York's next league game is a repeat of last year's final against Bradford at Undercliffe, on Sunday, June 27, when York will be seeking revenge for that defeat.
