Woodhouse Grange and Barmby Moor now have clear daylight between themselves and the rest of the Foss Evening Cricket League first division after wins over Yapham and Stamford Bridge respectively.

Woodhouse rattled up 149-5 after captain Steve Burdett (58 not out from 25 balls) and James Hopwood (36) rallied from a mini-slump.

Woodhouse shared the wickets around, bowling out Yapham for 83, with 12-year-old Freddie Collins’ 3-12 the standout display.

Barmby gained revenge for a last-ball defeat on the opening night at Stamford Bridge by knocking the visitors 87-6 off with seven wickets and 19 balls to spare. Matt Beckett (40) top-scored for Bridge while Phil Stothard (44) and J Sykes (28) starred with the bat for Barmby.

In division two, Londesborough Park hold on to top spot after chasing down Stockton & Hopgrove’s 130-5 to win by eight wickets with an over to spare. Giles Smith (46), Rich Kerrison (33) and David Fairbanks (28) excelled, but Tom Medley (51) and Tim Nettleton (45no) sealed Park’s win.
