ELLAND beat the weather to gain an outside chance of catching Golcar and Honley in the Premiership title race.
Just two matches in the top flight survived the rain, leaving the championship to be decided next Saturday on the season's final day.

Elland defeated Emley Clarence by eight wickets to leapfrog Delph & Dobcross into third place. Emley totalled 63-
8 in their 25 overs, Asif Zakir contributing 26 and James Thornton tying the batsmen down with a 4-21 return. Lee Baxter then made an unbeaten 30 and Elland took 12 overs to overhaul the visitors' score.

The match between Micklehurst and Lascelles Hall was also reduced to 25 overs a side, Micklehurst winning by eight wickets. Qaisar Rashid (4-21) and Aaron Lilley (3-21) restricted Lascelles Hall to 73-8 and Danny Anchor made 35 for the winners.

Golcar and Honley have 97 points each although Golcar have two more six-point victories to their name. Golcar finish off at home to Micklehurst, while Honley have home advantage against Barkisland.

Elland, three points behind the top two, go to Skelmanthorpe and fourth-placed Delph & Dobcross are a further two points behind and go to Holmfirth.

With Lascelles Hall and Emley Clarance already relegated, the third relegation spot will be filled by Shelley or Holmfirth.

Shelley could draw level with Meltham on points, but Meltham have two more six-point wins.

Four matches survived in the Inter-Conference on the final day of the Conference programme. Broad Oak's six-point penalty for disciplinary reasons offered Kirkheaton a chance to deny them the play-off place against Marsden, but while Broad Oak's game against Almondbury was called off, Kirkheaton lost by 23 runs at home to Thongsbridge.

Sarjinder Pal Singh wrecked Kirkheaton's hopes by taking
8-40 in 16 overs after making 29 in the Thongsbridge total of
121-7. Chris Murdoch did his best by taking 5-25 from 14 overs and making 33 runs but Kirkheaton were out for 98.

Marsden were six-wicket winners at Armitage Bridge, Ian Bray's nine overs bringing him four wickets for 20 runs as Bridge posted 85-9. Paul Hamer led the run chase with 39.

Shoaib Khan hit a half-century for Scholes, who also needed an unbroken partnership of 64 by Andy Alsop and James Noble to take them to a two-wicket victory over Kirkburton.

On a day when batting was far from easy, Mohammed Taj excelled for Primrose Hill who won by 39 runs at Paddock in a 35 overs-a-side contest.

Taj hoisted eight sixes and two fours in an entertaining innings of 72 not out off 33 balls. Mohemmed Usman also played his part with 36 off 28 balls, including one six.
