Opener Tom Greenwood, who blasted 17 fours and a couple of sixes, and number three Gregg Chadwick, who hammered 78 from just 55 balls including two sixes and eight fours, took the hosts to the verge of victory, putting on an excellent 168 runs for the second wicket. Seamer sealed the win with 206-2 from just 30.1 overs.

Flixton recorded their first win of the season away at Sutton on Hull by 4 wickets.

Flixton captain Harry Walmsley won the toss and asked Sutton to bat first.

Sutton opener Kai Nicholson held the innings together with a solid 70, backed up by ex-Scarborough all-rounder Prince Bedi (50) and Aaron Blagg (40) but things soon fell apart.

The innings closed on 227 all out in 46.3 overs. Harry Walmsley took 3-63 with Lewis Chipchase, Ryan Baldry and Rob Middlewood all taking two wickets apiece.

The Flixton reply was headlined by Will Hutchinson with a highly impressive 86 not out. Jack Walmsley (38) and Chipchase (32) helped the away total to 228-6 in 39.2 overs.

Scarborough put up a very good fight before losing by 16 runs in a high-scoring match at Driffield Town 2nds.

The hosts racked up an imposing 303-5 from 50 overs thanks to Nicholas Dobbin’s superb 110, allied to skipper Owen Goldsworthy's 84 and 77no by Adam Barton.

Archie Hammond took a tidy 2-34 from 13 overs, Callum Armstrong chipping in with 2-58 in six overs.

In reply, opener Armstrong gave the visitors a solid start with his brisk 48 from 42 balls, part of an opening stand of 84 with Ben Squires.

The latter then shared a second-wicket partnership of 86 with Dan Artley (56 from 47 balls, including two sixes and six fours), Squires going on to make an excellent 96 from 134 deliveries.

But the middle and lower order batsmen failed to build upon the fine work of the top three, and, despite a plucky 30no from Ryan Hargreaves, they ended on 287-9 from their 50 overs.

Scalby slipped to a 69-run loss at home to Brandesburton.

Dan Broumpton’s magnificent 163 in just 125 balls led Brandesburton to an excellent 327-7 in 50 overs, Paul Hesp was the top home bowler with 3-79.

Scalby captain Lachlan Cooke struck a stunning 97 from 107 balls, including two sixes and 17 fours, sharing a stand of 92 for the second wicket with David Morris (38).

Kris Johnson 33 as Scalby battled to keep up with the required run-rate, but they fell short on 258-6.
