Opening bowler Mcintyre did much of the damage, taking 5-42 as Hundhill Hall were bowled out for 146 to fall 10 runs short in their run chase.

But although Chris Walton hit an unbeaten 55 and Tom Gardner 36 Hall batsmen also found it tough.

Kippax, who have won two and lost two since promotion to the top flight, were on the wrong end of an eight-wicket loss to Askern Welfare.

A disappointing batting display saw Kippax reduced to 35-5 and although Imran Pandor hit 26 and Paul Eastwood 25 their 126 all out was well below par.

Jake Taberner’s 6-51 proved in vain for Hemsworth MW as they lost by 35 runs to Crofton Phoenix.
