Tickhill lead the way after low-scoring derby win over Sprotbrough

The newly-promoted hosts, who had seen their opening day Premier Division game at Sheffield Collegiate washed out, could only muster 136 all out after electing to bat first.

Joe Toole top scored with 44, while Lewis Hogg (26) and Daniel Wright (23) were the only other Sprotbrough batters to reach double figures.

Adam Copley was the chief destroyer, claiming figures of 5-40, and Biswick Kapala took 3-31.

Tickhill's run chase was far from straightforward as they slipped to 37-4 and then 79-7.

At that point Joshua Court joined Charlie Kaye in the middle and the pair's unbroken eighth wicket stand of 58 saw Tickhill home. Kaye finished unbeaten on 43 and Court made 23 not out.

Parteek Khasa claimed 4-34 with the ball for Sprotbrough, who go to Appleby Frodingham on Saturday.

Tickhill, who lead the early Premier Division standings with two wins out of two, host Wakefield Thornes.

Doncaster Town also followed up their opening day win over Wakefield wtih a 39-run victory at Cawthorne.

Andrew Parkin-Coates (54) and Rory Daburger (31) helped Town post 177 all out from their 50 overs. Ikramullah Naseri claimed 6-51 for the hosts.

Cawthorne looked well set at 103-2 but collapsed to 138 all out. In-form Daburger took 5-36 and Harsha Rajapaksha chipped in with 3-16.

Town host Whitley Hall on Saturday.
