Civil Service showed their mastery over Rowntrees when, on a day that their first team hit more than 300, their second XI recorded a ten-wicket win over their Rowntrees counterparts.

Steve Aldous made 47 and Tony Thomson 37 as Rowntrees moved to a below-requirement 146-9.

Their bowlers were then denied even a smidgeon of success as Nigel Ayre, with 71no, and Phil Markin (33no) proceeded to knock off the runs without loss in only 27.4 overs.
