Yorkshire Terriers' hopes of success in the disabled county cricket league were handed a blow as they went down to Roses rivals Lancashire at York University.
Lancashire, the only team above Yorkshire in the Northern section of the national competition, won by 118 runs after posting a formidable score at five runs per over in their first innings.
The visitors were lucky to survive early chances as the Yorkshire attack of Chris Thompson and Sam Welburn produced an accurate and hostile opening spell. However, despite losing Kenny with only two runs on the board, Lancashire settled down with Blackburn and Greenwood putting on 124 before the former fell to an excellent catch by Haydon Coventry off a top edge.
The Red Rose side remained in control, though, and posted 201 for six off their 40 overs.
Wickets fell rapidly in Yorkshire's reply and Trevor Jones with a purposeful 22 looked like being the only batsman to get to grips with the Lancashire attack.
Welburn hammered 18 in fine style but couldn't stop the Terriers being bowled out for 83.
