Captain Parker’s superb ton seals Grosmont’s promotion to Beckett Division 2

Grosmont racked up 248-5, Kyle Boushall supporting Parker with an explosive 43 in just 14 balls including four sixes, Carl Thompson adding 37 and Tom Beeforth 35.

The home side then slumped to 36 all out in 21.3 overs thanks to top bowling from Iain Groark (4-21) and Brint Darnell (3-11).

Grosmont could still win the title if they win at promotion-chasing Scarborough 2nds on Sunday September 27.

Scarborough 2nds’ promotion was confirmed at Wykeham 2nds despite their game being abandoned with them 6-0 after three overs of their pursuit of the hosts’ 212-6.

Josh Grover smashed a brilliant 84 and R Green 67 for Wykeham, Tom Sanders claiming 3-44 for Scarborough, then play was washed out after a few overs of the visitors’ reply.

Snainton’s chance to claim the title was damaged by the weather as they had to settle for four points from an abandoned game at neighbours Brompton 2nds.

Snainton were well-placed at 21-0 from four overs in chase of Brompton’s 144-4 when the heavens opened.

Robin Siddle struck 62no and skipper Phil Holden 45 for the home side before rain stopped play early in Snainton’s innings.

Staxton v Ebberston 2nds being cancelled halted the hosts’ promotion hopes.

Bridlington 3rds’ home game against Glaisdale was abandoned at tea, the visitors having made 211-9.

Number eight Joe Padmore smacked 62 from 48 balls, Alex Burtt 39, Sam Harland 35 and Simeon Padmore 32no as Glaisdale recovered from 20-4 to get past 200 before the elements halted proceedings.

Cloughton claimed promotion as runners-up in Division 2 after their game at closest rivals Flamborough was abandoned with the visitors having posted 218-0 at the halfway stage.

Sean Exley smashed an excellent 101no and fellow opener Liam Salt 93no as Cloughton confirmed their place in Division 1 for 2027.

Seamer 2nds were 80-2 in pursuit of visitors Forge Valley’s 193 all out when the heavens opened to stop play.

Daniel Taylor top-scored for the champions with a magnificent 104 from just 54 balls including six sixes and 12 fours, Charlie Baldwin adding 56 and skipper Luke Calvert 24no, Thomas Pinder taking 4-18.

Opener Joe Tiffany hit 31 and Jamie Haxby was 29no when rain halted play.

Sewerby had reached 152-5 when rain ended their match at Scarborough Hospital.

Mike Artley top-scored with 69no as the visitors managed to stay out for 38.5 overs before it became too wet for play to continue, Peter Davies adding 32.

Thornton Dale 2nds’ home loss by two wickets to promoted Scarborough Rugby Club cost them the chance of sealing promotion from Division 4.

Dale were skittled out for 112 thanks to top bowling from Brett Canham (4-25) and Mark Kelly (3-22), Andy Parsons hitting a defiant 41.

Rugby Club looked in deep trouble at 19-7, and then 40-8, as Aston Potter-Firth snapped up a great 4-27 and Harry Parsons 3-22, but heroic batting from George Elliott (45no) and Rob Hazeldine (22no) steered the visitors home, damaging the home team’s promotion chances and keep Forge Valley 2nds in contention.

Forge Valley 2nds missed the chance to wrap up the third promotion slot as their game at home to Wold Newton was abandoned with Valley in the driving seat when the elements intervened.

The hosts were 71-4 in reply to Newton’s 120 all out when rain stopped play.

Valley 2nds, who are four points behind Dale 2nds, can still gain promotion if they win their final game of the season this coming Saturday at home to champs Sherburn 2nds.

Ravenscar 2nds signed off their season with a seven-wicket win at Wykeham 3rds.

Sam Bull took 3-14 and there were two wickets apiece for Rich Cooper, Nathan Hone and old-stager Antony White as the hosts were dismissed for 106 in 26.5 overs, Oliver Trousdale top-scoring with 45.

White’s determined 34no in 90 balls and Eli Cooper’s 30no sealed the win for Ravenscar.

Scalby 3rds won by 104 runs at Glaisdale 2nds to end their season on a high note.

Alfie Speight top-scored with 50no from 37 balls as Scalby made their way to 201-5 from their 30 overs in the rain-affected match, Simon Walls adding 37 and Stuart Pearce 31.

Walls capped a top all-round day with 3-22 as Glaisdale reached 97-8, Asher Haynes scooping a superb 3-5 in three overs.

Filey 2nds conceded at home to champions Sherburn 2nds.
