In Division One,
Ciroc, the Adil Rashid Cricket Academy and defending champions Salem Athletic
are fighting it out, not only for the championship but also for the two places
available at the end-of-season finals day play-offs.
Ciroc still top the
standings, despite their match being abandoned last week due to the weather
against Shelf with the game finely balanced.
Shelf had made 110-8
(Asad Shah 45, Kez Ahmed 4-22), and Ciroc were 59-2 with nine overs remaining.
Third-placed Salem
Athletic kept up the pressure on the top two with an 11-run victory against
second-placed Adil Rashid Cricket Academy at East Bierley.
The visitors were
indebted to Mohammed Waqas (51no) as they set the Academy a modest 115-7 from
their 16 overs, with Adam Ahmed taking 3-9.
Despite being 80-3 at
one stage, thanks largely to opener Imran Arif (37), the Academy lost their
momentum, ending on 104-6.
