Division six champions York III continued on their merry way with a comfortable win at Stillington.

Only Dennis North, who made 41, posted any runs for the home team who were dismissed for 91.

When York replied, Rob Lancaster, unbeaten on 37, and R Reader, 29no, were at the wicket when victory was achieved.

The crucial game in the division was at Bolton Percy, where the home side pulled off a fine victory over Selby to put themselves in line for promotion at the expense of their opponents.

Having occupied a promotion berth for the whole of the season, Selby remain 12 points ahead of their conquerors.

However, having completed their programme, Selby now face an anxious wait in the hope that Bolton will be unable to gain the 12 points they need from their seemingly easy final game at Civil Service.

Batting first, Selby were only able to make 127-9 - Andy Hullah top-scoring with 30 - as Peter Atkinson claimed 5-42 and Henry Houseman 3-25 in 15 overs.

Hullah then reduced Bolton to 59-5 before Stuart Rogerson 55no and John Lawrenson 30no took their side to victory at 131-5 without further mishap.

Bottom-placed Civil Service were routed by two Londesbrough Park teenagers.

Dan Howard, aged 15, took 4-16 and, at one year older, Will Curtis bagged 4-6 to dismiss them for only 39.

The Park batsmen then wasted no time as they raced to a ten-wicket win in the ninth over.

After a poor season, Cawood II had one of their best results when they took full batting points in an advantage draw at Thorp Arch.

Dave Thompson hit a rare lower division century with his 106 being the fourth highest innings recorded in the division. Dan Linnacre took 4-65, but Thompson's fine innings enabled Cawood to make 214-6.

Tony Jones 3-46 then contributed to the Arch ranks, who lost eight wickets until John Orrell (75no) and Andy Cartledge (27no) guided the Boston side to 191-8.
