At Fox Lane, Division One leaders made De La Salle 108-8, which Hollinsend Methodists passed comfortably enough with 5 wickets in hand (L Commander 46*).

In Division Two, Bakewell mustered just 80 against top club Sheffield Civil Service, who secured the win by 6 wickets and with Sheffield University Staff’s fixture with Parkhead II being lost to the weather, the Civil Service now have a sizeable lead at the top.

Norton Woodseats made 214-7 (T Eyre 88* J Bagley 66) and completely routed Grindleford for 49 (J Ahmed 5-2).

Neither Sheffield Collegiate IV v Sheffield Medics or Telecom Sports v Hollinsend Methodists were started due to the weather.

Chesterfield III made just 74, Richmond cantering to the win by 7 wickets (C Turner 60*).

Only one game survived in Division Four, but it garnered a significant result.

Chesterfield Barbarians II v Sheffield Civil Service II, Sheffield Super Kings v Sheffield University Staff II and Whittington Wanderers II v Coal Aston III were all lost to the weather.

Again, just one fixture was played in Division Five, and again it saw a noteworthy result.

Baslow were all out for 131 (B Heath 42 D Weston 4-40), Hundall II going on to win by 2 wickets (D Drew 51) and have now leapfrogged up to head the table.
