A remarkable spell of bowling by Simon Boddye earned Carlton Towers a 131-run victory over New Earswick in division five.

Boddye sent down six overs without conceding a single run and claimed five wickets in the process as Earswick were shot out for 47 in 20 overs.

Earlier, Steve Watson (57) and Richard Knapp (36) had put on 63 for Carlton's first wicket and set them on the way to a total of 178-7. Cristian Soulsby was Earswick's most effective bowler with 3-65.

After showing improvement the previous week, Rowntrees' batting collapsed badly against Steve Beales, who took 6-44 in 22 overs and Wally Baynes (2-42) in a similar spell as Huntington dismissed the factory side for 88.

Only Steve Aldous, who made 29, made any impression. Huntington openers Len Watson and Dick Shaw reached 58 reached 58 before the former was dismissed when 14-year-old Jonathan Solly gained his first wicket in senior cricket. However Huntington then coasted to a nine-wicket win with Shaw unbeaten with 28.

Selby crashed to their first defeat as visiting Tadcaster Magnet kept up their promotion drive with a seven-run win.

Tadcaster made 171 thanks to Richard Cattle (55), Bobby Collins (36) and Dave Colquhoun (28) with lively Selby paceman Paul Wadsworth taking 5-35.

Selby opener Ian Lake had reached 41 when he was run out at the non-striker's end from a deflection off a straight drive. Richard Firth (30) and Peter Hoyle (33) carried on the good work but Matthew Keel claimed 6-62 as Selby were bowled out for 164.

Pocklington reduced Selby's lead to six points when they had a beneficial draw at Hovingham after setting 194-7 through Gary Milner (43) and Dave Gamble (39).

Mark Hemmingway hit a defiant 50no when Hovingham replied but Simon Hill (4-16) ended home hopes of victory and Hovingham settled for a draw at 135-7.

Steve Fieldsend followed his hundred of the previous week with 60 when Stamford Bridge took first use of the Sessay wicket.

Other runs came from Oliver Pimlott (51), Ian Fraser (45) and James Bryant (25no) as Bridge built a total of 209-4.
