Stamford Bridge's star batsman Lorenzo Ingram kept on course for a new record run aggregate when he made 87 in the first division match against Hemingbrough, writes Albert Pattison.

That took his aggregate for the season to 1,441, a total bettered only once when Collis King amassed a staggering 1,668 runs in division four for Stillington in 1996.

After the loss of a wicket in the first over, Ingram (pictured batting above) and Matt Beckett added 126 for the second wicket but their separation brought about an astonishing collapse as Asim Butt ripped through the division leaders' batting to send the home side packing for 154. Butt's 8-64 was his fourth eight-wicket haul of the season - a feat never before performed.

Hemingbrough's innings started in sensational fashion as Oliver Pimlott grabbed three wickets as they staggered to 9-3.

Imran Malik and John Waterhouse then took command and knocked off the required runs without further loss with Malik (109no) recording his first century of the season and Waterhouse remaining unbeaten with 36no as Pimlott's figures deteriorated to 3-63.

Thirsk retained their interest in the promotion race.

They too enjoyed an unthreatened win over Driffield, who were shot out for 81 by Barry Petty with 4-34 and Anthony Elders, who returned a remarkable analysis of four wickets for just one run. Simon Schwertz then made 30no as Thirsk glided to an eight-wicket victory.

The clash at the Hollis Recreation Ground between two sides locked in a battle to avoid relegation saw hosts Hornsea move above opposing York into tenth place with big 96-run win in a game that was played in a true sporting spirit.

Hornsea posted a decent first innings total, reaching 209-9 as Paul Clappison made 72, Jonathon Fisher 40 and Richard Medforth 31. Steve Beales returned one of his best figures since switching from Huntington when he bagged 5-68.

York's batsmen then failed to make a mark as Medforth claimed 5-27 and John McKenzie 3-24 and were bowled out for 113.
