Yorkshire ECB: York set records as trio hit 1,000 runs

Spinner Daniel Woods snatched the four wickets he needed to set a new record of 91 in a season and Liam McKendry’s 26 took him past 1,000 runs. With Jack Leaning and Duncan Snell having already reached the landmark it is the first time three players from one club have scored 1,000 runs each in a season.

Woods took 4-76 from 17 overs but York lost to Sheffield Collegiate by 58 runs – their first league defeat since June. Tom Lister hit 89 for the winners and Ben Rooke made 41 on his first team debut.

Another record-breaker was Driffield Town wicket-keeper Mark Goddard whose one stumping and one catch in a 53-run defeat at Scarborough was just enough to take him past the previous record of 47 victims by Castleford’s I Shackleton in 1996.

Scarborough captain Andrew Simpson and fellow opener Darren Harland had a partnership of 239, both men completing their centuries. Ben Kohler-Cadmore took 6-44 for Driffield.

Runners-up Yorkshire Academy wasted little time in defeating visitors Cleethorpes by nine wickets. Lewis Stabler took 5-20 in six overs as Cleethorpes were sent back for 112 in 32.4 overs. South African Graham Hume, batting at No 9, made a half-century and 13-year-old Jordan Cook retired hurt on 29 after a delivery struck him on the shoulder.

Academy openers Alex Lees and Eliot Callis had a partnership of 108, skipper Lees going on to make an undefeated 83, including nine fours and three sixes, as Cleethorpes were overhauled in 14.2 overs, Lewis Stabler taking 5-20 in six hostile overs.

Calum How hit an undefeated 77 for Harrogate to leave him 11 runs short of 1,000 for the season in a 70-run victory over Doncaster Town. Barnsley defeated wooden spoonists Sheffield United by 25 runs and Castleford overcame Appleby Frodingham by 22 runs, John Randerson taking 5-33 in 13 overs.

Hull’s home game with Rotherham Town was called off as the ground was waterlogged.
