The warm weather returned for our home fixture with fellow promotion contenders Studley Royal 3rds, the Ash team included Neil Laurence making his seasonal debut.
We lost the toss and were asked to bat first, the top order of James Thompson (15), Rob Clarke (66) and Ned McClelland (42) working hard to put us in position for another excellent knock from adam tomlinson (46 not out) to take us to a formidable 192 for 7.
An excellent tea from Adam Firth's mum got us in fine fettle for the second half.
Some great bowling from Mark Taylor (3 for 27) and Ned McClelland (4 for 30) with excellent support from Joe Buckley (2 for 29) and Dan Harrington (1 for 36) restricted the reply to 136 all out.
Only 3 batsmen reached double figures, we caught some good catches and Neil Laurence performed excellently behind the stumps - all highlighting a dominant performance.
This sets us up well for the visit of Pannal 3rds, who are third in the table
