Hatfield’s Paul Davies made 48 as the visitors coasted to a seven wicket victory in just 14 overs.

Only Ross Adamson (26no) offered any resistance as Askern slipped to 71 all out in response to the home side’s 239-6.

League leaders Brodsworth Main maintained their one hundred per cent winning record in Division Two but it was a close run thing against Glasshoughton.

William Drury (58), Alex Snaith (38) and Bradley Maddison (30) helped Main post 183 all out before the visitors replied with 174 all out. Josh Rutherford took 4-29.
