BARKISLAND’s openers Jacob Travis and Seth Oddy are in blistering form at the moment.

After putting together a century stand last week to beat Delph, they were even more destructive this week as they belted 204 for the first wicket against Golcar.

Oddy fell for 49, but wicketkeeper Travis was in stunning form, hammering 151.

When Golcar replied Tom Booth took four for 43 to give Barkisland victory.

League champions Slaithwaite proved too strong for Kirkburton, where Chris Payne (71no) and Graham Holroyd (73) put on a century opening stand for the visitors who closed on 189-1.

For once, David Greaves and Gary Eastwood failed and Kirkburton were bowled out for 96.

In the Frank Platt Championship, 16-year-old George Sommerville scored a match-winning 81 to lead Lascelles Hall to a seven-wicket win over Thongsbridge after half-centuries from James and John Thompson.

There was a brace of centuries in the match between Paddock and Shelley, with Usman Siddiq scoring 101 not out and Shah Nawaz 72 as the home side beat visiting Shelley by nine wickets, despite an unbeaten 110 from Joe Sykes. Micklehurst’s Ben Downend took eight for 27 to beat Holmfirth.
