Woodlands stormed to a 10-wicket win over bottom side Brighouse in a match which lasted just 26.5 overs on an afternoon when play was possible in only three matches.

Woodlands wasted no time bowling out the 10 men of Brighouse for 54 in 21.5 overs as left-arm spinner Chris Brice (3-13) and Safraz Ahmed (3-26) went to work.

Big-hitting Safraz Ahmed was promoted to open but he was overshadowed by Scott Richardson as Woodlands reached their target in just five overs.

Richardson (32no) and Safraz Ahmed (23no) took advantage of some very tame bowling.

Woodlands now have a 23-point lead over Pudsey Congs whose derby clash with Pudsey St Lawrence was called off at Tofts Road.

Third-placed East Bierley's match with Cleckheaton was also abandoned leaving them 38 points adrift of Woodlands who they play at home on Saturday.

The day's only other winners were Hanging Heaton.

Despite being hit by injuries and suspension they still managed to defeat Yeadon by 20 runs in a 25 overs per side contest.

Hanging Heaton batted first and made 167-2 thanks to some fine batting from Haroon Rashid (79) and James Stansfield (53no). Rashid hit three sixes and 10 fours, while Stansfield struck three sixes and three fours as they shared a second-wicket stand of 134.

Yeadon were reduced to 13-2 before overseas player Aamir Sajjad hit four sixes and two fours in a breezy 52. He shared a third-wicket stand of 79 with Grant Soames (48), but once they were parted the innings faded away against leg-spinner Amar Rashid (3-52) and Ryan Senior (3-28).

Saltaire moved out of the bottom two by picking up six points from their abandoned game at Bradford & Bingley.

Bradford & Bingley were restricted to 146-8 and Saltaire had reached 79-3 off 19.2 overs when rain forced the match to be abandoned.

Richard McCarthy, whose benefit celebrations included a four-team floodlit cricket tournament at Wagon Lane, again bowled well to take three wickets at a cost of 20 runs.
