All 20 wickets fell in the Hunters the estate agent York and District Senior League division one game at Hemingbrough.

The home side maintained their pressure on the leaders Stamford Bridge by defeating fellow promotion hopefuls Duncombe Park by 48 runs.

Imran Malik held the home innings together as he made 70 not out in a total of 192, with Pete Richardson taking 4-50 for Park.

Handy runs for the visitors then came from Mark Wilkie (40), Adam Rayner (28) and Andy Plowman (25), but the challenging pace of Pakistani Asim Butt held sway as his 5-41 sent the Helmsley side home with a score of 144.

Tadcaster Magnet were on the receiving end of a draw when they were unable to match York's 205-9, but the Brewers were able to gain sufficient points to move away from 12th spot.

Aussie Jason English top scored for York with 67 while Brendan Ledgeway chipped in with 31.

Three batsmen then helped Magnet to 155-8, with Carl Donaldson top scoring on 31 and Will Walker and Tyrone Naude each making 28.

Having been awarded an extra 27 points during the week due to Scarborough being docked points for unacceptably strengthening their side when the teams met three weeks ago, Sewerby missed the chance to go to the top of division two when they lost a narrow verdict at Bolton Percy.

Skipper Rupert Coates made virtually half his side's runs as he reached an unbeaten 81 as Sewerby were bowled out for 168 by Alistair Rigby, who took 6-63.

Coates hit back with 3-35 but half centuries were notched by Jamie Rigby (52) and Peter Houseman (50) and then Nick Lister made 25 as Bolton built on one of their most successful seasons in recent years with a two-wicket win.

Crayke's Paul Hutchinson (65) and Pete Carr's (34) seemed to have set the scene for a big score when they put on 101 for the second wicket against Dringhouses.

The big one failed to materialise when spinner Ian Bews applied the brakes with 5-64 to restrict the hosts to 163-9.

Mark Hayter then hit a handy 65 but Dave Allitt took 3-19 and a tense ending saw Dringhouses just fail to force victory as they fell marginally short at 161-9 in a drawn game.

New Earswick moved out of the bottom two when they won an absorbing encounter with Ripon by just ten runs.

Earswick's bill toppers were batsman Andy James, who made 84, and the Stimpson brothers, who took all ten wickets between them.

James had an ally in John Hetherton, who made 25 in Earswick's 190-8.

Chris Warters with 4-65 was the best bowler for the Citizens, with Jason Gains in support with 3-64.

Warters followed with 31 while Peter Squires with 61 and Andrew Mason (40) also gave good accounts of themselves with the bat. Nevertheless the second half belonged firmly to Paul Stimpson (6-80) and his brother Craig Stimpson, who took 4-15 as Ripon were dismissed for 180.
