Super Shah does it all in Wath win
WATH maintained their impressive season with a comfortable nine wicket victory at Conisbrough.
Second-placed Wath, hoping to bounce back into the Championship from Division One at the first time of asking, ticked every box in their win over their nearest challengers, Conisbrough.
The home team skipper Joe Farmer top-scored with 56 at the top of the order in their 184-9, Syed Shah taking 4-47 for Wath.
Despite getting opener Isaac Wainwright out early it was never going to be enough runs for Conisbrough as South African Jason van Dyk smashed 106 not out off 109 balls and Shah completed an excellent all-round performance with 73 not out as the pair shared an unbroken second wicket stand of 185.
At the top of the table four wickets each from Jake Marshall and Kyle Humphrys helped unbeaten leaders Warmsworth bowl Treeton out for 136 at Common Lane. Liam Cottam made 52 in the home side’s seven-wicket win.
In Division Two Ashley Reynolds’ 4-28 helped Thorpe Hesley & High Green bowl Hatfield Town out for 129 at Carr Side Lane; then opener Haroon Zafar made 50 in the home side’s seven-wicket win.
The bottom two met in Division Three at Moor Road, where Junaid Abbas (60) and skipper Zabe Javed (61) gave Sheffield United a good start with an opening stand of 112, and Harris Golrez weighed in with 58 as they posted 244-7 against Wath 2nds; Jonathan Plater and Joe Wainwright then both made 60 when Wath replied, but they ended 36 short on 208-7.
In Division Four Whiston Forge kept their promotion hopes on track with a narrow win over Bradfield Village Fellowship at Guilthwaite Hill. Skipper Liam Hague (57) led the visitors to 160 all out; then Forge edged home by two wickets with three overs to spare.
Adeeb Khan (49) helped unbeaten Division Six leaders Sheffield Centralians to make a competitive 171 after being 82-5, Kai Brown taking 4-22 for visitors Scholes & Harley; then Atif Qayyum took 5-32 and Scholes were all out for 66.
And in Division Seven South forties from Jamie Elliott and Fida Hussain helped Brookhouse to 212 all out against Sheffield Superkings, who were bowled out for 136 in reply.
