Oak make smashing start to the T20

-

at vital times, but Kenworthy had 27 and Ryan Robinson a crucial 30 before Denton and Ben Lindley saw them over the line with two overs to spare and eight down.

Shepley were indebted to John Anderson’s unbeaten 57 in scoring a five-wicket win against Shelley, although Archie Greaves and Nadim Hussain took two wickets each as Shelley totalled 142-8.

Gharib Nawaz hit 81 as Hoylandswa­ine proved too hot for Kirkburton.

He faced 56 balls, hitting six fours and five sixes, as Swaine put up 184-6.

Luke Williamson responded with 59 and Alex Scholefiel­d 49 but Burton were held at 170-8 at Haigh Lane.

Liam Wiles and George Charnock took three wickets apiece as Cawthorne restricted Skelmantho­rpe to 112-9 at Dark Lane.

Charnock then weighed in with 46 not out off just 19 balls as Cawthorne romped to victory in 10.5 overs with two down.

Moorlands, meanwhile, won off the last ball at Barkisland, who totalled 166-9 thanks to 37 from Jake Finch, 33 from Sam Moyle and 26 not out from Phil Ackroyd.

Siraj Sajid hit 54 for Moorlands, but they needed eight off the last over and managed to get home with Nicky Smith and Andrew Fortis unbeaten.

Golcar took the points against Mirfield Parish, who had Muhammad Ali (60) and Nazar Hussain (52) to thank in reaching 150-8 – Oliver Pearson taking four for 12.

Craig Ruscoe with 42 was then at the heart of the Golcar reply, which succeeded with four deliveries to spare, Jacob Mulhall 21 not out. THURSTONLA­ND have been fined a whopping £200 by the Drakes League because their second XI have conceded two matches.

The Marsh Hall Lane club failed to field a team in the Fired Up Paddock Shield first round at Kirkburton on May 6.

And they repeated the concession at Thongsbrid­ge on May 19 in the Cedar Court Conference Two.

Each offence has cost them £100, with £50 being awarded to each home team in compensati­on.

Thurstonla­nd have not been the only offenders in second XI cricket, however, as many clubs are struggling for players and especially to fulfil double-headers.

Mirfield CC were also fined £100 after conceding at Delph & Dobcross in the Paddock Shield first round, when Shelley also failed to turn up at Broad Oak.

The home team were awarded half of the fine on each occasion.

Holmbridge were also fined £100 for conceding their Paddock Shield meeting at Elland, with the Hullen Edge club receiving £50 for their trouble.

Likewise, Rastrick were fined £50 for conceding at home in the Shield to Moorlands.

Golcar first XI (£14), Denby Dale (£11) and Delph (£14) were fined for exceeding the time limit to bowl their overs.

A further £210 was handed out in fines to clubs for late team sheets, and £10 to Edgerton & Dalton for a late second XI result.

Marsden were fined £20 for playing Sam Roberts when he wasn’t registered against Thongsbrid­ge second XI. The result stands because Thongsbrid­ge took all six points in any case in Cedar Court Conference Two.
