BOTH Wickersley Old Village and Whiston Parish Church missed out on a last eight berth in the K3 Dental Yorkshire Leagues knock-out cup after defeats on Sunday.

Home ties against tough Yorkshire League North opposition was always going to be tricky but neither could put their opposition under enough pressure to have a chance of victory.

Wickersley welcomed York to Northfield Road and were dismissed for 156 inside 37 overs. Opener Michael Jepps scored 42 before he was caught and bowled by South African Breidyn Schaper.

Liam Heathcote did he best to rally the lower order with 57 before he too fell to Schaper as the home team were bundled out.

In response York shrugged off the early loss of Harry Sullivan and needed just 22.3 overs to chase down the target. The irrepressible Schaper was again to the fore with an unbeaten 94.

Whiston has their visitors Woodhouse Grange wobbling at 115-5 midway through their innings but 62 not out by Jonny Shepherdson ensured Church would be chasing a competitive total of 236 from the 40 overs.

In reply losing early wickets hampered Whiston as only Joe Norbury’s 65 and Mark Cummins 35 – as the pair shared a stand of 87 for the fifth wicket – provided any real resistance as the innings ended with Danny Kemp’s team 40 runs short.

Tickhill now know who they will play in their delayed last 16 tie as Sheffield Collegiate beat Clifton Alliance by 22 runs. That match will be played on June 21 at the Brookfield Oval.
