Relegated Hopton Mills A were beaten by 188 runs in their visit to promotion chasers Wakefield St Michael’s A.

James Woodward (4-50) and Philip Bland (3-47) were unable to stop Saints easing to 246 all out, a score that eclipsed Mills’ reply of 58.

With unbeaten leaders Oulton A out of sight, Liversedge A and Mirfield A are in the race for the second promotion spot in Division 4.

Liversedge, currently four points clear in second, will go up should they win at East Leeds A on Saturday while Mirfield must get a result against champions Oulton to stand any chance of promotion.

Mirfield were out-classed by nine wickets at East Leeds last weekend, after the visitors’ lowly 48 was beaten by a reply of 50-1.

Liversedge suffered a 68-run loss to Adwalton A, who put 196-8 onto the scoreboard.

Adam Clarke (3-30) and Russell Clarke (3-37) stood out with the ball for Liversedge but the hosts could only muster 130 in reply, Phil Gould (38) leading the way.
