Dyson's 6-70 left him the league's leading wicket-taker as the home side were bowled out for 200 after recovering from

87-5.

In reply once again the batting disappointed with nobody getting in and building an innings as Grahame Ellis top-scored with 29no.

Cullingworth are well set for a promotion challenge in Division One after a comfortable six-wicket win at home to Blackley left them in third place.

Ben Burkill took 4-21 as the visitors were bowled out for 112 before Chris Welch (36no) guided the hosts to victory.

Oxenhope II were no match for Mytholmroyd II, who made 271 (Hamzah Khan 6-62) before hosts Oxenhope struggled to 183 all out.

There was also a big defeat for Cullingworth II (130), who lost by eight wickets at Leymoor II.
