LONG Lee have retained the Division Three leadership, despite losing by one wicket at home to Cononley.

The Golden View side made 222-7, with new recruit Lee Crowther hitting 72 and Lee Humphreys 66 as Herbie Starkey took 4-65.

Andrew Starkey (93) led the South Craveners' successful reply, assisted by Joel Grainger (55) as Jamie Robinson claimed 5-34 and Shahbaz Ahmed 3-55, but the winning hit came with just two balls to spare.

In a seesaw game at Greenwood Park, second-placed Sandy Lane just managed to hold off the challenge of Riddlesden II by 12 runs.

Crossflatts II were back in the pavilion for 74 at Ryshworth Park, Gargrave galloping to a nine-wicket victory, while Eldwick & Gilstead won by four wickets at Denholme II in what may not be the twin village's last hurrah.

The visitors then knocked the runs off for the loss of six wickets, with Chris Child scoring 63.
