Opener Dan Artley then launched a powerful attack on the home bowlers, smashing 45 from just 14 balls, hammering five sixes and three fours, while David Snowball struck a more sedate 35 from 27 deliveries as Staxton raced to victory in just 8.5 overs.

Harry Hutchinson snapped up a brilliant 4-21 as Seamer were dismissed for 115, Tommy Palmer and S West taking two wickets apiece. Opener Matty Morris struck a crucial 35 for the visitors.

Hutchinson also shone with the bat, hitting 27, but was offered little support as the hosts slipped to 103 all out, Caeleb Potter grabbing 3-25, while Austin Thompson scooped 2-12, Morris 2-25 and Toby Jones 2-38.

Scarborough CC earned a 37-run success at Scarborough Rugby Club in Division C.

Phil Fletcher’s determined 59 was the main driving force behind the home side’s reply, but they fell short on 112-6, Liam Walton and Alfie Stewart taking two wickets each.

Filey worked hard for their three-wicket victory at Flamborough to stay level on points with Scarborough CC.

Josh Harvey struck 34 as Boro made 100-5, Ben Robson and Ben Eblet snapping up two wickets apiece.

Harvey capped a top all-round display with 2-14 and Reed Simpkin 2-21 as Boro made Filey work hard for their win, opener Lewis East’s 36no guiding them to 101-7 from 12.5 overs, Tom Pinder adding 25.

Scalby B’s five-run win at Scarborough Hospital saw them jump into third spot above their promotion rival hosts.

Vitty Thomas’ stunning 3-0 in just seven balls helped dismiss Scalby for 90, P Khadatkar also taking 2-10.

Tahir Chohan struck 25no in Hospital’s reply but they fell agonisingly short on 85-7 due to top bowling from Tyson Jones (4-38) and Mark Wells (2-9) in their respective four-over spells.

Muston cruised to a 72-run success at home to Snainton B.
