Etherley fielding a severely depleted side, were all out for just 18 when they met Shildon. Tweddle with three for seven and Rowley, whose three wickets cost him just nine runs, were the bowlers responsible for Etherley's cheap dismissal before Shildon went on to win without conceding a wicket.

At Langley Park, Esh Winning suffered a 12-run defeat. When they made first use of the wicket Langley Park realised 108 for eight with most of the runs coming from Andrew Smith with 44 and Simon Moralee (25) , Scott Dodds had an excellent night with the ball for Esh Winning taking five for 31 runs.

Although Andy Wilson carried his bat for 52, Esh Winning managed only 96 for four with David Hughes claiming two for 22 runs in the Langley Park attack.
