SNAITH EVENING LEAGUE ROUND-UP FROM GLEN SANDS

Both Snaith League titles will be decided on the final night as Goole Town and Fishlake slog it out for the honour of being First Division Champions whilst in Division Two any one of four clubs could finish top which will ensure some hot airwaves on August 1st before the top four placings are confirmed.

SNAITH LEAGUE DIVISION ONE
Goole Town were awarded the points when Askern Welfare had to forfeit the game due to several late withdrawals which meant they were unable to send a team to take them on but Fishlake remain two points behind Town after they gained a four wicket win at Outcasts who set a target of 140 for 9 thanks in the main to Scott Buttrick who scored 30 then David Johnson replied with 75 to help Fishlake to 141 for 6 to keep them in touch into the final round of matches. Airmyn created a league record when crushing 240 for 3 against Hirst who they then bowled out for just 18 , a winning margin of 222 runs !  Rob Holah hit 138 not out , Nick Holah 42 and Anthony Kingsland 40 for Airmyn whilst Chris O'Hara took 4 for 4 in the Hirst innings. Finally Burn squeezed to a narrow victory over already relegated Hensall to give them one last chance to climb above Hirst Courtney next week , Liam Adamson hitting 69 not out in their score of 142 for 9 Craig Mainds picking up 3 for 14 for Hensall who came very close to overhauling that target when finishing on 138 for 8 , Whaley top scoring with 56 and Watson taking 4 for 20 for Burn

SNAITH LEAGUE DIVISION TWO
Thorne Colliery climbed to the top of the Division Two table when they eased to a 72 runs win over Drax Village and it was in form Landale who once again took centre stage by blasting 117 not out as they made 176 for 4 , although Adamson replied with 36 not out and Phil Vickers 23 as Drax reached 104 for 5. Previous leaders Howden Town suffered a defeat at the hands of in form Sykehouse who hit 135 for 2 with 72 not out from Greendale before Town were bowled out for 97 , Damien Sharpe top scoring with 28 and that defeat allowed Carlton Towers to move level on points with them now after Carlton beat Eggborough who have now slipped into fourth place. Callum Tyson hit 43 and Drew Pearson 37 not out as Eggborough scored 127 for 3 but Carlton overhauled that target for the loss of just four wickets.

FINAL PREVIEW OF THE SEASON
The final round of matches on August 1st sees three of the four Division One games having something on the outcome whilst all three Division Two games will have a bearing on promotion.
A win for Goole Town at Hensall will see them crowned Champions whilst a Goole slip and a Fishlake win over Hirst Courtney would see them pip Town to the post, Burn need to win at Askern to have any hope of overhauling Hirst Courtney and the one other top flight game takes Airmyn to the Isle of Axholme for a final game against Outcasts.
A win by Thorne Colliery against Pollington will earn them the title in Division Two and Howden will have a tough task at Eggborough which could well see either side promoted should they win. Carlton Towers are also right in the mix but they too have a tricky fixture against in form Sykehouse to negotiate.

DIVISION ONE
Askern Welfare  v  Burn
Hensall  v  Goole Town
Fishlake  v  Hirst Courtney
Outcasts  v  Airmyn

DIVISION TWO
Carlton Towers  v  Sykehouse
Eggborough  v  Howden Town
Thorne Colliery  v  Pollington
