Yorkshire and Derbyshire title race wide open The Division One title race is still wide open following an interesting series of results over the weekend. De La Salle still head the field despite suffering a losing draw against Centralians. Cents racked up 163-7 (Schofield 63, Heath 6-63) and saw the leaders close out on 114-8 (Willey 40 no, Webb 5-34). Sheffield Works Department climb into second after their victory over strugglers University Staff. Staff were dismissed for 161 (Paul Kerry 53, Ian Robinson 4-37, Nawaz Khan 4-33), which Works passed with five men in hand. Old Edwardians / Collegiate fall one place into third after a losing draw at Parkhead. Parkhead posted an impressive 281-7 (ian Davis 58, Altaf Junaid 77, Joe Root 4-41) and saw Old Eds hang on at 194-9 (Matt Root 49, Altaf Junaid 4-10). Crucially, Old Eds maintain a game in hand on the rest of the contenders. Back into the equation after a slow start to the season come defending champions Hundall. They managed to bowl Hathersage out for 137 (Campbell 41, Rhodes 40, Badcock 4-42) and register a three wicket win (Pursehouse 54 no).

Just six points will see Division Two leaders Calver promoted to the top flight. They bowled Parkhead II out for 177 (Chambers 57, S.Hallows 5-37) and made it home with six men down (J.Mundy 46, I.Hallows 46 no, J.Bonsall 46 no). Stocksbridge I are in second place by virtue of their win in the Stocksbridge 'derby.' They bowled their second string out for 67 (Chris Kelly 6-10) and recorded a six wicket win. Chesterfield Barbarians hold third place due to a forfeited match by Hathersage II. Hathersage are now relegated. Bakewell compiled 180-9 (Luckraft 109, Buchan 5-32) at fourth placed Grindleford, who settled for the draw at 150-8 (Crawford 41 no, Peach 4-56). Millhouses' 179-9 (Ian Knowles 50, Peter Holmes 6-53) was passed in style by SWD II for the loss of just one wicket (Dan Franklin 83, Marcus Burley 85 no). It remains tight at the top of Division Three. Leaders Dronfield Woodhouse managed to restrict Old Edwardians / Collegiate II to 122-6 (J.Lings 40) and gain a comfortable eight wicket win (James Staniforth 50). In pursuit are Laycocks.
