Mirza boosts Delph hopes

DELPH kept alive their slender title hopes in the Drakes Huddersfield League with a hard-fought 24-run win at Honley.

In difficult conditions, Delph posted 136 all out, Bruce Cruse making 34, before dismissing their hosts for 112 with Kamran Mirza taking five wickets for 18 runs off ten overs.

The second team cruised to a ten wicket win over Lepton Highlanders, who were shot out for 68 as Adam King took five wickets for seven runs in eight overs - five of them maidens.
