Date published: 30 July 2009


GREENFIELD face an uphill task if they are to lift the Moore Cup.

The second-team knock-out has been badly hit by rain since the final started at Shaw on Sunday.

Shaw posted 172 all out (Paul Sullivan taking two wickets for 23 off seven overs).

In reply, Greenfield have struggled to 48 for four off 22 overs.

The match continues each night whenever the weather relents.


DELPH SLIP TO DEFEAT

DELPH slipped to a defeat by high-flying Honley in the Drakes Huddersfield League Premiership.

They posted a score of 224 for nine, with Irfan Zahoor (86) and Bruce Cruse (61) putting on 139 for the first wickets.

However, Honley reached 225 four four with just three deliveries remaining.

Delph’s second team crushed Thongsbridge.

They reduced their hosts to 86 all out before Mark Corless (41no) and Tom Wood (35) guided the local side to a nine-wicket win.
