Acomb bowler Andy Jacques celebrates taking the wicket of Barmby Moor batsman Mike Brent, after he was caught behind by 'keeper Richard Crabtree in the HPH York Vale League division three game at Acomb.

But Barmby Moor collected maximum points to stand top of the table.

The visitors powered their way to 212-9, Sheperdsen making 60 and Stanter 61. The pick of Acomb's bowlers was Michael Aldred, with 6-75.

John Binns was the only Acomb batsman to make progress against Barmby Moor's bowling attack but when Steel claimed his wicket on 47, the game drifted Barmby Moor's way and Acomb's final wicket fell for 167 in the last over.

Mark Dusheiko (55no) carried his bat for the second successive game to keep University of York Staff's promotion hopes on track as they beat Bishopthorpe II with nine balls and four wickets to spare.

Thorpe Willoughby were indebted to all-rounder Dave Watson's contribution of 45 and 6-46 for their 35-run win at Hirst Utd.
