The Malton innings set off briskly with Michael Linsley making 41.

With the home team subsequently appearing to take hold of the game, a one-handed diving catch by Harry Walmsley dismissed the dangerous Matthew Turnbull for 30 and shortly afterwards a direct hit from Josh Till removed Nick Thomas for 59.

Malton slumped from 185-5 to 207 all out not only due to excellent fielding but also 6-43 by Elliot Hatton.

Next week Flixton face Carlton Towers at home.
