HOVINGHAM batsman Peter Stark is a study in deep concentration as he battles against the Rowntrees' attack in their division two fixture.

But while Stark showed application on the trip to Mille Crux, neither he nor his team-mates could hold their hosts.

Led by Alazhappwruma's unbeaten 44, Rowntrees replied with 149-4 to overhaul their visitors and post a six-wicket win for 30 precious points.
