Fieldhouse relentless

Bamford Fieldhouse continued their relentless march towards the title after they won their 10th league game out of 12 — the other two were drawn — at Moorside.

The hosts did well to restrict the runaway leaders to 202. Lee Tracey took five for 59, while Darren Shadford stuck around long enough to make 54.

Francis Sutherland scored 68 in reply, but the captain had little support as Moorside were limited to 150 for nine.
