Second-placed Thirsk fell to sixth place in division after Sheriff Hutton Bridge’s batsmen re-discovered the form which had so emphatically deserted them seven days earlier.

Paul Oldfield maintained his consistency with 65, while former Saxton player Rob Pinder hit 64 in only his second outing for his new club.

Adam Fisher weighed in with 37 to lift the Bridge to 253-9 despite an impressive 5-35 by Ben Elders.

Jordan Grose (4-17) and Jamie Hopper (3-25) wrecked the Thirsk reply to 146 all out.

Hornsea expunged the ‘0’ from the wins column when they recorded a home victory over Acomb.

But the York side’s Andy Green found himself on the losing side despite hitting an unbeaten 101. Joey Burton added 30 in a score of 223-6.

Hornsea skipper Ben Wallis led from the front with 84 while his predecessor Paul Johnson added 45. Joe Dale took 3-62 before an unbeaten 40 by Alistair Kirk helped the home side to a winning 224-7.

Selby’s rising star Tom Collins, a pre-season signing from Hemingbrough, hit a fine unbeaten 114 as his side reached an impressive 279-4 against Clifton Alliance.

Matt Hoyle fell for 92 while Lee Wild added 30.

Clifton opener N Hindle carried his bat throughout, reaching 94no before he ran out of partners as the combined talents of Steve Precious (4-21) and Josh Cruise (3-22) curtailed Alliance to 150.
