Hoylandswaine have closed the gap on leaders Delph & Dobcross at the top of the Drakes Premiership.
While Delph were frustrated by rain in their abandoned match at Honley, Swaine rattled up 272-5 declared at home to Elland and won on the rain rule.
Michael Cranmer’s side had completed 27 overs when the players were forced off, with Elland on 73-7, and so picked up six points to put them within striking distance of the leaders (five points behind).
Cranmer with 81 did the bulk of the damage for Swaine, who batted for 44.2 overs, while Gharib Nawaz hit 58, Ben Potter 44 and Max Joice 38.
Umar Tariq and skipper Robin Broom picked up two wickets each for Elland, whose top scorer was Muhammad Wadee with a defiant 41.
At Honley, Delph seemed well on top having dismissed the bottom-placed club for just 135.
Honley lost early wickets before Tim Sykes, going in at No6, steadied the ship with 32, receiving help from Martin Green (16) and Australian No10 Andrew Padbury (18).
Opener Shakir Muhammad picked up four for 32 from his 15 overs while counterpart Wasim Qasim picked up two for 30 from 10.
Arron Lilley was also difficult to get away, taking one for 31 in 15, while Nathan Jones had 10 overs and picked up three for 36 to mop up the tail end.
Delph faced only 10 overs in reply, with Chris Laker on 11 not out and Andrew Gleave on 14 not out, so it was two points apiece.
Shepley looked to be heading for defeat when their home match against Kirkburton was abandoned.
Andrew Smith picked up four for 18 in 12 overs and Javaid Ahmad three for 41 as Shepley were bowled out for just 87 in 38.1 overs, with Dan Wood and skipper Danny Glover scoring 28 apiece.
Smith was then out for 29 as Kirkburton reached 46-3 before rain stopped play after 17 overs.
Ben Cant scored a cracking 113 for Shelley as they totalled 229-8 at Armitage Bridge – support coming from Abdul Wahid on 27, Louis Sykes on 25 and Josh Scott 21. Matt West had four for 29 for the Bridge.
Cant then picked up two for 12 to reduce the Bridge to 30-3 in reply when the game was called off.
Scholes were rescued from 52-7 by some excellent late batting from No11 Guy Pearson (45) and former Huddersfield Town player Duane Holmes (in at No10 and 24 not out) as they totalled 168 at Skelmanthorpe.
The home side were then reduced to 35-3 in 12 overs, Louis Brook claiming two victims, before rain forced them off.
In-form Golcar piled up 328-9 at Barkisland before their match was abandoned without the home side getting a bat, while Broad Oak totalled 280-4 with another Henry Cooper century at home to Cawthorne.
Cooper blasted 135, with Harvey Booth adding 44 and Jack Hargreaves 41, as Cawthorne were made to toil, Murtuza Hussain taking two for 82 and Chris Walmsley and Perry Youel a wicket apiece.
