The weather ended hopes of a full programme again this week but those that did play endured quite a miserable day weather-wise with a biting cold. Catching was going to be a challenge. Bishop Thornton are sitting pretty at the top of Division 1 after beating Killinghall by 7 wickets in a game reduced to 40 overs. Killinghall batted first and made 131-7 with a good all round display by the 
Thornton bowlers. In reply, an opening stand of 86 by Andrew Cullen (96) and Rob Nelson (23) did the damage. Blubberhouses join Bishop Thornton at the top with a big 106 run win at Goldsborough.
Covers and hard work by the ground staff produced a great surface which Blubberhouses made first use of and an opening stand of 136 between Steve Wilkinson (78) and Bill “Angry” Davies (65) built a solid platform for the visitors. Bash Khan (45) also chipped in. Mark Maceaney 3-21 and Dawood Waquas 3-39 were the chief destroyers for ‘Houses with Goldsborough being bowled out for 159. Ben Mackrill (52) and Tommy Cockle (48) showed their class with the bat for Goldsborough.
Hampsthwaite had a good win at Spofforth by 24 runs. Openers Paul Taylor (31) and Andrew Boyle (30) gave the innings a solid start and Richard Barratt (46) delighted the crowd with some consistent leg side hitting. Andrew Taylor hit 61. For Spofforth, Graham Squires took 2-31 and Tom Clark 2-40.
Another good opening partnership between Tom Clark (45) and Pat Gannon (29) got the home side to 77 but then Ferez Asgar 3-59 and Andrew Boyle 3-27 pegged the home side back.
A late flurry of runs from Paul Fletcher (17) and Ben Nethersole (23) couldn’t get Spoff over the line. Ouseburn (176-4) beat Alne (139-6) by 37 runs. Sam Parker top scored with 91 and Eddie Myers took 3-30 in the Ouseburn innings. Alne finished short with Eddie Myers hitting 32 and Sam Dale taking 3-38. In the other game to survive the weather Pannal beat Helperby by 33 runs.
