LIAM Wiles took six wickets against Golcar but second-placed Shepley failed to put the pressure on leaders Hoylandswaine, whose match was cut short by bad light.

Shepley needed to reduce Hoylandswaine’s lead with matches running out, but visitors Golcar had different ideas, winning by nine runs. Golcar totalled 163-9 and Danny Glover made an unbeaten 67 in the reply but Shepley fell for 154, Will Hinchliffe claiming five victims.

Hoylandswaine’s match at Meltham was delicately poised with the visitors on 151-7 in 38.3 overs when bad light brought a premature finish. Meltham totalled 184-5 with the overs reduced to 45-a-side. Sarjinder Pal Singh struck an undefeated 68 for Hoylandswaine.
