They will be going up as runners-up after narrowly failing to edge out Scholes for the title in a three-way race that went right down to the final Saturday.

South African Jacques Porter led the way with a strong all-round performance as he took 6-52 and hit an unbeaten 53.

Carlton came up with enough points in their last two matches to avoid relegation from Division One.

After beating Batley by 33 runs on Saturday they picked up sufficient points from their rearranged game at Baildon on Sunday to escape the drop and finished in ninth.

They did lose the final match despite posting a 236-7 total with Dan White hitting 65, Cameron Wallis 44 and Steve Cooper 33.

Baildon were set a revised target of 222 in 44 overs and got home with five wickets to spare.

Overseas player Sanaullah Khan produced a decisive performance for Carlton by taking 5-42 as they bowled out Batley for 114 in reply to their score of 147 on Saturday.

Wasim Khaliq’s knock of 59 was also crucial in Carlton’s success.
