The runs flowed for Crook Town when they met Tudhoe with Mark Bowey in particular in scintillating form, writes Malcolm Pratt.

Bowey ended unbeaten with a magnificent 91 as Crook realised 143 for two before restricting Tudhoe to just 50 for six. Chris Guy bowled a good end for Crook conceding 19 runs taking a couple of wickets.

Langley Park also had batsmen in form in their fixture with Ushaw Moor.

Daniel Wilkinson made 51 and Gregg Coates 42 leading Langley Park to 130 for six before Ushaw Moor replied with 121 for six.

Washington did even better ending with the formidable total of 168 for three. Cuthbertson top scored with 79 and Lee added 61 before Esh Winning responded with 140 for nine.

Andrew Wilson scored an excellent 71 and Stuart Hall 35 while for Washington Thompson took four wickets for a meager 18 runs.

Willington defeated Kimblesworth and for the third successive match they did not lose a wicket. Chris Moore and Jonathan Askew have opened for Willington in each of their first three fixtures and the pair were again in excellent form at Kimblesworth.

Moore carried his bat for 48 hitting four sixes and four boundaries, while Jonathan Askew also ended unbeaten on 34 with three sixes and two fours.

When Kimblesworth batted first and reached 82 for four their top performer was Bishop, but the total proved insufficient as Willington romped to another ten wickets victory.
