Leaders Hull Zingari are the only unbeaten side in the first division after their six-wicket triumph over Driffield which was sealed by Robert Elston's 75 and Alistair Markham's 36no.

Chris Rook's 38 was the top score in Driffield's 172-9 as Richard Grice 29 and Paul Sellar 26 added value. Teenager Anthony Knowles again took the bowling honours for Zingari with 4-67, while Andy Hamson's 3-37 also kept Driffield in check.

Former leaders Sheriff Hutton Bridge crashed to their second straight defeat when they lost their last two wickets in the final over to Goole's captain Dave England. His 5-55, coupled with 4-50 from fellow spinner Gautam Sharma, collapsed Bridge to 155.

Spin was the most effective weapon in Goole's innings as youngster Dan Snowball captured 3-58, but Neil Foster played the decisive innings in making 61 to earn full batting points at 200-9.

Crayke's secretary and scorer Janet Dawson was not present to see her son Graham lead his team to their first win of the season with an unbeaten 105 but no doubt enjoyed her day at a wedding.

Paul Hutchinson made 47 as he helped Dawson add 77 for the first wicket then Jonathan Wright took his side to 235-1 with an unbeaten 60 as he and Dawson added 158 for the unbroken second wicket.

Duncombe Park opted for their usual cavalier approach to gain a win.

A combination of good fielding and suspect judgment saw three of the first four wickets fall to run outs. Park's disdain for draws was evident when Aussie Dan O'Connor was last out at 203 when he fell to a boundary catch rather than opting for a nudged single which would have earned him a well deserved second century of the season.

Stamford Bridge remain at the foot despite notching their second win of the season when they beat Ripon by six wickets. Martin Veysey took 4-24 for the hosts as Ripon made 150-9 through Chris Warters (31) and Andy Frost (44 no). Stamford's leading batsmen were Stuart Boyle with 63 and Dave Chaplin who made 42 in a total of 151-4.

Whitkirk completed a fine three-wicket win at Pocklington by hitting a six.

Pocklington's 204-6 was led by Andy Inns' 65 before Whitkirk's Craig Shipton heralded his return to fitness by hitting his first three-figure score in the York League, making 104.

A fine century by Chris Malthouse who reached 100 with the winning hit, earned Tadcaster Magnet a five-wicket win at York.
