Play was possible in only three Pilmoor Evening Cricket League fixtures as the June deluge took hold.

Sessay batted first at Sheriff Hutton Bridge and got off to a good start with opener Nick Thorne smiting 50 from the first 62 runs scored.

The total collapsed to 76-7 before being lifted to 120 without further loss thanks to Paul Flintoff (37no) and Dan Easton (18 no).

The top Bridge bowlers were Simon Naylor (3-18), Jack Hugill (2-43) and Taylor Coyle (2-34).

Bridge’s response was led by Paul Scaling and Josh Cockerill, the latter dismissed for 22 before Scaling struck an aggressive 58.

The asking rate got tougher, but a late surge from David Speake (22no) took the hosts to 121-4 with four balls remaining.

In the second division, Acomb increased their lead after a run- spree against visiting Rowntrees.

Joe Dale and Martin Pepper each made half-centuries before compulsory retirement in Acomb’s 200-8.

For Rowntrees, Dan Waterworth, S Allen and S Gall took two wickets apiece.

Chris Todd led Rowntrees’ reply making an unbeaten 36.

But no other batsman reached double figures as the visitors closed on 86-9, Zac Loveley taking 2-1 and Christian Burton 2-4.
