DIVISION ONE
Whitwell 150 all out
Mansfield HM II 63 all out

Opting to bat first, Whitwell's Thomas (28) made an explosive start against his former club before departing in the sixth over.

Draycott (25) and Wheatley (23) pushed the score on to 90-1 at the halfway point but, with the stage set for a second half onslaught, the lower order got stage fright and perished one after the other with off-spinner Kilvington (4-26) the pick of the bowlers.

With only a small target to defend both opening bowlers rallied to their captain's call for tight disciplined bowling.

Shaw (3-26) and Ragg (2-20) both used the humid conditions to swing the ball.

The fielding was close to faultless and Westerby (3-7) and Stuart (2-10) wrapped up the tail with great efficiency to land Whitwell 20 points.

DIVISION TWO
Sherwood Colliery 144 all out
Clumber Park 147 for 4

CLUMBER consolidated top spot with a solid performance against a plucky Sherwood side on Saturday.

Having elected to bat, Sherwood made a cautious start against some probing bowling from the hosts.

Despite their efforts, the bowlers couldn't force a breakthrough and the visitors belied their league position to post 50 without loss.

On an afternoon that was muggier than a Glastonbury mosh-pit, Clumber could have wilted in the field, but when Simon Dean (1-19) struck the complexion of the game soon altered.

Gaz Beard (3-39), Chris Ward (2-24) and Dave Beard (1-19) were all in the wickets as the visiting batsmen buckled like a wheel on a rusty old BMX.

Only skipper Hunt (74) provided any resistance, showing that Bruce Sprinsteen wasn't the only one to put in a two and a half hour performance last weekend.

With overs running out, Clumber were indebted to Chris Rix (2-24) who returned to bag two late wickets to bowl Sherwood out and ensure the hosts could chase maximum points.

The Clumber reply got off to a bright start before D. Beard (10) was adjudged LBW.

The game was taken away from the visitors with a second wicket partnership of 78 between Chais Morris (41) and G. Beard (41).

A clatter of wickets saw Clumber feel a minor rumble of panic as the Sherwood bowlers reduced them to 110 for 4.

However, the accomplished Ward (29*) steadied the pulse rate and aided by Matt Deaves (9*) the pair eased the hosts to a comfortable victory in the 33rd over to leave Park riding high at the halfway stage of the season.

DIVISION FOUR
Firbeck 180 all out
Woodsetts 58 all out

ON a difficult batting surface Woodsetts won the toss and elected to field.

Justin Joseph (6-39) took full advantage of the conditions and soon had wickets tumbling as he accounted for Firbeck's top five.

S. Blagg (14) got a start but it was only B.
