BISHOPTHORPE who were runners-up in the HPH York Vale Cricket League Division One last season are aiming to follow up their six wicket win over Kelfield last weekend with a second win when Stockton and Hopgrove are the visitors tomorrow.

Ben Smith was at the heart of Bishopthorpe's success last week with a half century and sharing strong partnerships with his top order colleagues.

Stockton and Hopgrove by contrast succumbed to newly promoted Westow. Stockton will look to impressive Kalum Perera who took 7-46 to continue his good form.

Westow will be tested tomorrow when they take on one of the favourites for league success Ovington who began to live up to the reputation with a 33 run over Burn last weekend.

Mark Earle will be one to watch for Westoe has he recorded an influential 80 and then claimed a 4-28 haul.

Ovington openers Tom Cookson and Craig Nicholl showed the will be a force to be reckoned with putting on 83 for the first wicket in just 11 overs.

Burn take on Wheldrake who won promotion to Division One but were stymied by the weather last weekend at home to Ben Johnson.

Melbourne who were without a fixture last weekend begin their season at home tomorrow when Kelfield are the visitors.

Division Two fixtures are spread throughout the weekend because of the Tour de Yorkshire Cycle Race. On Saturday Fulfordgate, who were rained off last Saturday, start their quest at home to South Cave and Brantingham who were beaten by Clifton Alliance.

Hemingbrough who could not raise a team last weekend against Askham Bryan will try again at home to Hirst Courtney, while Asham who will be champing at the bit to see some action travel to Ovington Seconds who started with a 33 run win against Burn.

On Sunday Acomb who were left frustrated by the weather last weekend entertain Malton and Old Malton who started with a defeat to Ovington.

Another team who lost the game to the weather Stillingfleet will aim to see action when they travel to Clifton Alliance on Sunday.
