No 4 Alan Clark (53 not out) and Stubbins (36 not out), who came together rescued the game for Hampole (126-5). Jeff Dickinson (3-38) starred for Harworth with the ball.

Bawtry, for whom Osbourne hit a top-score 51 in their 183-7, enjoyed the better of a drawn game against visiting Parklands who were 123-7 in reply with Parker, who had earlier taken 5-43, top-scoring with 50.

Main elected to bat after winning the toss and were all out for 133 in 33 overs.

An unbeaten 102 by Mick Roper, which included six sixes and nine fours, helped steer Sykehouse, who were 30-4 at one stage, to a four-wicket win over Pegler.

Pegler had earlier made 164-9, mainly due to the efforts of No 4 Paul Binns, who cracked nine fours in an unbeaten 74. Nick Gough grabbed 4-4-48.

The efforts of opener John King (57) and No 4 Mick Rogerson (57) – who hit 15 fours between them – failed to save Brodsworth Main (163) from a 46-run defeat at Scholes as Frank Dobson weighed in with 6-27.
