Green Lane continue fine start to season and take place at top
Aire Wharfe
The combined talents of Ishtikhar Hussain and Yasir Ali set up a 46-run win for Green Lane over Rawdon and keeps them as the surprise early front-runners of Division One.
The two bowlers each took four wickets as Rawdon were dismissed for 137 in reply to Lane's 183-6.
Collingham remain just behind the leaders after clinching a five wicket win at Adel in the last available over.
Mark Whitehead was out in the 90s for the second time this season as the home side set a target of 200-7 and Collingham got home largely thanks to John Swain's 48.
Burley looked in with a chance of upsetting North Leeds when they stood at 126-5, chasing
173-7 but the accuracy of Fahan Khan (6-38) undid them and they lost their remaining wickets while only adding 17 runs.
Calverley climbed off the bottom at the expense of visitors Silsden. Half centuries from Steve Alred and Julian Thornhill gave them the better of a drawn match.
An undefeated 101 from Phil Critchley was the highlight as Beckwithshaw took four points off Guiseley, while an improved performance from Kirkstall Educational brought no reward because rain intervened with Otley struggling on 187-9.
A second eight-wicket haul for Luke Brooksby, in a season just four matches old, helped Illingworth overcome Steeton and keeps them joint-top of Division Two.
They share top spot with Follifoot, who took just 23.4 overs to clinch victory at Harden after Oral Blackford's 16.3 over spell of 6-33 helped dismiss the home side for 72.
Danny Groom (73) and Phil Hanson (57) top-scored as Tong Park Esholt reached 250-6 at Bardsey but they had to settle for four points because the home side put up stern resistance in the form of Eddie Clayton who smashed 17 fours and two sixes in an unbeaten 101.
Mahir Ali (6-30) and Paul Stothart (4-52) had Upper Wharfedale reeling to 98 all out, but then Phil Binner, who had hit three sixes in his 31 off 13 balls, produced four rapid overs and took 4-6 as Thackley were dismissed for 75.
Knaresborough were struggling at 95-7 in reply to Colton's 154-9 when the rain intervened and the weather also came to the rescue of Pool, who had lost five wickets with 99 on the board in reply to Bilton's 258-5. Andy Walker (80), Darren Blenkiron (53) and Paul Cannings (62) were the star performers for Bilton.
