In the Pocklington-Market Weighton local derby at Burnby Lane, Londesborough Park came out on top with a comfortable 67-run success.

Pock's left arm seamer, Con Brattan, could hardly have done more with a haul of 7-30 from his two spells, spinner Henry Sumner taking the other three, writes Phil Gilbank.

But Charlie Rook (56) and Joe Shingles (53) held firm as Park were all out for 200 in their last over.

When Pocklington took second knock the Shingles brothers, Joe and Ben, shared six cheap wickets, and though home number five bat Charlie Lambert (67 not out) remained defiant, Pock were bowled out for 133.

Woodhouse Grange found it hard going against pace and leg spinn at Harrogate and lost by six wickets.

No 3 Chris Bilton top scored with 47 and No 6 Tom Young held the later order together with 38 not out, but Grange were back in the pavilion for 162 in the 43rd over.

Opening bolwer Tom Neal gave Woodhouse some hope with three early wickets, before Harrogate steadied the ship and sailed home at 163-4.

Openers Marcus Smith (45) and Harry Cooper (39) gave Grange a platform, but they then fell away to be 136 all out.
