Our Yorkshire Coast cricket sides struggled on a disappointing Saturday locally.
YPN Championship side Folkton & Flixton are bang in form and their batting was formidable on Saturday.
Winning the toss and batting first, the villagers put on 135 for the first wicket with Tom Norman making 62. His fellow opener Will Hutchinson made 72 with the hosts slipping to 163/3.
A mammoth 94-run partnership saw skipper Harry Walmsley blast 68 from just 37 balls. However, the star of the show was Elliot Hatton, who smashed a 55-ball 118 and put on 70 in no time for the seventh wicket with brother Jake.
Folkton & Flixton finally finished with a mammoth 397/8 from their 50 overs. Unsurprisingly, visitors Cottingham found it tough going in response.
Elliot Hatton capped a tremendous all-round display with 5 for 29 with the ball. Max Harland took 2/25 and Charlie Colley 2/32 with Connor Stephenson also weighing in with a wicket. The visitors from the Hull area were bowled out for 132 in the 34th over securing a 265-run victory for the home side, who are now up to fifth in the table.
Elsewhere, Bridlington are finding it tough going in their step up to the YPN Championship.
They sit 9th after a heavy defeat at Duke's Park.
Visitors Easingwold won the toss and batted first. Despite an early wicket with the away side on just 12, they rallied and put on 105 and 48 for the next two wickets.
Ricky Robinson took 3/65 and there were also wickets for Ben Traves, Casey Rudd, Elliot Traves and Steve Janney as Easingwold posted a testing 279/8 from their 50 overs.
Brid had a nightmare start to their reply- falling to 24/4 early on. Only wicket-keeper Sam Wragg (43) and Simon Leeson (36) showed any resistance with a 78-run stand for the fifth wicket.
Thomas Hudson enjoyed himself with two sixes in a brisk 28 from 19 balls down the order, but the hosts were shot out for 145 inside 37 overs, losing by 134 runs.
In the division above, Scarborough lost their third successive game, this time at highly-rated Castleford.
Captained by Pat Roberts on Saturday, Boro started strongly enough after being put into bat.
They were 101/1, but then slipped to 109/4.
Duncan Brown did his best to anchor the innings with 87, while team-mates got starts but couldn't push on.
The visitors were eventually able to post 202/9 from their 50 overs to give themselves something to bowl at.
The bowlers then impressed as Castleford stumbled to 60/3 and 108/4. However, an unbroken 99-run fifth-wicket partnership took the hosts home, with 17 balls to spare.
Linden Gray took 2/30 with Guy Emmett picking up 1/34 and Adam Newington taking the other wicket.
Whitby were also left disappointed, in a thriller, at Seaton Carew, in North Yorkshire South Durham Division One.
After being asked to bat first, Kai Morris' men stumbled to 38/2 but were assisted by 90-run fourth-wicket partnership between Morris, who was run out for 32 and Theo Clarke.
Clarke held the innings together and would've been gutted to miss out on a century, instead posting an impressive 93 and helping the visitors to 223 before they were bowled out in the final over.
Whitby bowled well and had the hosts faltering at 25/2, however solid partnership throughout and an opening centurion took them to the brink of victory.
However, when Mark Jackson claimed Carew's ninth wicket, they were still eight runs short of victory. The final pair had to play carefully to get home with seven balls to spare. Kobie Boocock took 3/39, Jackson 3/45, Ricky Hall 2/72 and Theo Smith 1/62.
