BECKWITHSHAW recorded the only victory of a wet weekend in the Aire Wharfe League with the 1995 Division One champions closing the gap to the promotion positions in Division Two.

Hosting bottom club Colton Institute, ’Shaw were put in to bat and had opener Joseph Holderness (30) to thank as the exits of Dax Guy, skipper Peter Hotchkiss and Ben Holderness for two, nought and nought respectively left them 36-4.

All three were removed by Tom Glover as part of his spell of 5-63 but fine late knocks from Henry Hopkinson (69), James Blair-Holt (44) and Oliver Hebblethwaite (46no) took ’Shaw to 235-8.
