Date published: 25 August 2008


Delph moved within six points of Drakes Huddersfield League table-toppers Golcar after a Bilal Khilji-inspired win over Skelmanthorpe.

The Pakistani all-rounder took six for 96 in the home side’s total of 261 before blasting an unbeaten 117 from only 115 balls to clinch a six-wicket success.

The seconds, meanwhile, were nine-wicket winners over Linthwaite, who were bowled out for 55.
