Woodhouse Grange 2nds march on in the National Village Cup
Woodhouse Grange 2nds march on in the National Village Cup after a five-wicket win over Durham side Sacriston on Sunday.
They now go to Cuckney, near Mansfield, in the semi-finals on Sunday week (August 2).
After a good start Sacriston were pegged back to 142 all out by George Baty (3-22) and skipper Matty Ainley (3-4).
Grange had a bit of a wobble at 57-4, but Rob Gainer (52no) steered them home, reaching his fifty with the winning boundary.
Paradoxically, Prem 2 leaders Woodhouse lost to rock-bottom Patrington for a second time this season on Saturday, Grange posted 224-8, Tom Burdett top-scoring with 55no, and Patrington eased to 229-2, Woodhouse remain top and Patrington bottom.
Woodhouse 1sts had another convincing win by 77 runs at home to Hull Zingari.
Chris Bilton (73) and Joe Hall (60) took Woodhouse to 231-8, and Zingari never got near despite a last-wicket flurry, Tom Neal, James Finch and Chris Suddaby all claiming three victims to dismiss Zangari for 154.
Youngster Alex Collins junior starred for Grange 3rds with 54no and 3-35 as they overhauled Ripon's 202 to win by five wickets, but Grange 4ths lost at Sheriff Hutton who posted 279-4, Phil Stothard's 86 helped Grange to two losing bonus points from their 211 all out.
Unbeaten Grange 5ths are 18 points clear at the top of Sunday Vale div 2, after beating Wheldrake by 66 runs, opener Riley Cooper hitting 76 in their 279 total.
