OXENHOPE lost by five wickets in a rain-restricted game at home to Mytholmroyd in the Halifax League Premier Division.
The hosts made a very healthy 283 thanks to the early batting of Liam Dyson (64) and Lewis Hopkinson (40). But the innings took off when Joe Ousey walked to the crease, making 100no with some big hitting seeing him reach his second 50 in only four overs.
In reply Mytholmroyd got off to a good start as Jack Earle (91) and Wajid Ali (57) were to the fore before a flurry of wickets reduced them to 170-5.
Dyson (3-98) and Tom Mawer (2-52) took the wickets before several showers meant the players were on and off the pitch.
The Oxenhope total was reduced to 257, which the visitors knocked off with no further loss as Thomas Conway (57no) led them home.
Cullingworth remained top of Division One after winning by two wickets at Stones.
The hosts were bowled out for 177 (Jack Collins 86) as Phil Poole (4-20), Ben Burkill (3-44) and Dave Robinson (3-37) claimed the spoils before Steve Welch saw his side home with 56.
