MEWIES Solicitors Craven League Division One leaders Bingley Congs were in a mean mood as they added to the misery of bottom side Cowling at Beckfoot Lane.
The Coliseum side were restricted to 59 in only 17 overs, with ‘Mr Extras’ top scoring with 17 as skipper Adie Dibb took 6-23 and Harry Greenhalgh 3-24.

Andrew Copping made 20 as Qamar Zaman took 4-40 off seven overs.
Second-placed Crossflatts won by 39 runs at Embsay.
The Ryshworth Park side made 180-7 with Dom Bennett, dropped on seven, making 84 not out and Freddie Maddocks 54.
Embsay replied with 141-9, Jim O’Hara taking 3-5 off nine overs and Alex Bradbury 3-19.
The Shires Laners remain third, with Oakworth and Sutton breathing down their necks a point behind.

The Cure Hill side were 34-4 before Michael Scarborough (43no) and Nivard Trowers (25no) put on an undefeated 69 for the fifth wicket.
Sutton were at next-to-bottom Foulridge and hustled them out for 69, with Justin Holdsworth (6-39) and Richard Walker (3-22) doing the damage. Sam Solley hit 38 in the successful reply of 71-2.
