Carrying his bat, Wilson got excellent support from fellow opener David Greaves (75) and No3 George Smith as Burton rattled up 312-2 at home to Golcar.

The Colne Valley side were then hustled out for just 96 in reply with spinners Matthew Crookes and Robert Kettlewell taking three wickets apiece.

Kirkburton’s win came as nearest challengers Skelmanthorpe slipped up, losing by three wickets at home to Cawthorne.

Mark Wimpenny scored a sound century as Skelmanthorpe posted 232-4 at Dark Lane, Adam Dollive adding 49 and Ryan Jagger 40 while Arron Pratt claimed three for 61.

Pratt then got to work with the bat, anchoring the Cawthorne innings with 60, while fellow opener Jamie Penty had 69 and No3 Andrew Buckingham 51 as they got home for the loss of seven – left-arm seamer Richard Wimpenny claiming four for 39.

Opener Peter Harrison was another top-flight century maker for Armitage Bridge, hitting 129 in their crushing win over Meltham.

In-form Russ Evans hit an unbeaten ton for Hall Bower in the Frank Platt Championship Two victory against Clayton West, while Paddock’s Dean Wood was unlucky to finish on 99 not out in their win against Lascelles Hall.
