CHAMPIONS York Cricket Club may have ended the season in defeat, but it was still a day of stellar celebration at Clifton Park.

The record shows that the seventh successive Solly Sports Yorkshire ECB County Premier League championship – confirmed a week earlier – was marred by a 58-run loss at home to Sheffield Collegiate. But for all that, the York club could still hail their impressive skipper Dan Woods.

After his side were bowled out cheaply for 180, Woods bagged the requisite four wickets he needed to go one past break the Yorkshire League record of 90 wickets set in the one season back in 1991.
