DUNNINGTON sit fourth in the Squash Yorkshire Premier League after suffering a 14-8 defeat at Woodfield.

Matthew Stephenson and Ed Shannon got the visitors from York off to a flyer with rapid lower-order victories, but Woodfield roared back with Luke Parker winning an epic battle against Cai Younger and Simon Herbert equalising via a straight-games win over Julian Tomlinson. 

It all came down to a big-name top-string tussle between firebrand world number 36 George Parker and former England international Chris Simpson.

It was Parker who took it in three following a close first game to bag the win for Woodfield.

Dunnington are 27 points behind runaway leaders Queens, who sealed a fourth straight of the term 15-8 at Pontefract I.
