WOODHOUSE Grange remain top of the Hunters York & District Senior Cricket League premier division despite being held to a draw at Hull Zingari.

Jack Storey top-scored with 48 in the hosts’ total of 146, but four wickets from Dave Suddaby (4-44) and three each from Steve Burdett (3-30) and Nick Hadfield (3-37) looked to have given the visitors the upper hand.

Mike Burdett (51) scored a half-century for the leaders but it was the bowling of Andrew Hamson (3-23) and Callum Helwig (3-31) which turned out to be the deciding factor as the visitors were restricted to 136-8.

Stamford Bridge and Sheriff Hutton Bridge made up the top three going into their match but a seven- wicket win for the latter saw them climb above their hosts into second place following a high-scoring encounter.

Dom Rhodes (109) and Stuart Boyle (111) made centuries and their third-wicket stand of 171 helped the home side to reach 256-6.

David Bradshaw (25) and Louis Foxton (33) got the visitors off to a solid start, before a partnership of 135 between Robert Pinder (84) and skipper Adam Fisher got them to the brink of victory, Fisher going on to finish 89 not out as his side got home comfortably with almost five overs to spare.

Acomb bounced back from the disappointment of their first defeat on Saturday by winning at Fenner by eight wickets. Will Parker followed up his century two days earlier with 78 for the home side but Mark Bell, with 6-40, helped keep the total to a manageable 192-9.

Leon Sacks (87) led the visitors’ response with support from his captain, Andy Tute (48), before Matthew Dale, with an unbeaten 38, saw them over the line and up into third place.

Jake Murphy took 4-43 as the home side were bowled out for 159, a total which presented few problems for the visitors, who raced to victory inside 34 overs.

Meanwhile, just across the road at Clifton Park, York II gained revenge for their opening day defeat against Heworth with a resounding 130-run victory.

The home side, having been reduced to 28-4 by Tom Neil’s opening spell, recovered thanks to a partnership of 81 between Felix Adams and Kieron Bloor (26), Adams going on to make 97 out of a total of 199-8.

The second innings began in similar fashion to the first as the visitors found themselves on 26-5 but they were unable to mount a recovery and were bowled out for only 69, Chris Hunter finishing with 6-37 and Ted Patmore 3-13.

Jon Vodden (80) did his best to mount a response for the visitors but it was always likely to be too stiffer task.

Stephen Piercy finished with 4-41 but the last pair held out for a share of the points when the innings closed on 237-9.
