CLIFFHANGER REPLAY

Jim Davies hit 31 and Mick Gallagher 25 for Sykehouse who made 119 for 8 when batting first and it came down to Fishlake requiring a six off the final delivery of the match to win the tie , only for them to manage a couple , despite an early 39 from Josh Mason, Phil Sanders taking 3 for 30 for the triumphant Sykehouse side.

Sykehouse 119 for 8 ( J Davies 31 ; M Gallagher 25 )
Fishlake 116 for 7 ( J Mason 39 ) Phil Sanders 3 for 30
Result: Sykehouse win by 3 runs and will meet Goole Town in Final
