Victories for all three of Greenmount’s senior teams at the weekend ensured that each maintained their lofty positions in their respective divisions.
The firsts entertained Accrington at the Log Cabin on Sunday and ran out winners by six wickets.
Skipper Travis Townsend won the toss and elected to field and a superb bowling spell by professional Jacques Snyman – who finished with league best figures of 7 for 24 – played a large part in the visitors being restricted to 118 all out.
The villagers’ early response didn’t exactly go to plan when both openers Snyman and Tom Heaton were back in the pavilion with the score on six.
Nevertheless a good partnership of 81 between Andy Kerr (39) and Townsend (38) moved things along before Cameron Mapstone (17 not out) and Gav Nicholl (9 not out) eased the Mount over the line for another vital 12 points that keeps them top of the Division Two table.
Meanwhile, the second team travelled to take on their Accrington counterparts and they too enjoyed a six wicket triumph.
Accrington won the toss and chose to bat but they found Liam Riley in magnificent form with the ball and his 5 for 8 from 12 overs along with two wickets for Adam Clarke and one each for Dexter Crowther and Liam’s son Jake saw them slump to 79 all out in the 33rd over.
That total was reached for the loss of four wickets in the 26th over with Harry Nuttall top scoring with 22.
The result keeps the second team sitting in third place in the table.
On Saturday the third eleven kept on track at the top of the table when they enjoyed a seven wicket win against Todmorden at the Log Cabin.
Todmorden chose to bat first and ran up a total of 165 all out in the 40th over.
Among the wickets for the Mount were Adam Clarke (4 for 35), Noah Birtwistle (3 for 20), Dexter Crowther (2 for 24) and Matt Gilmore (1 for 27).
Greenmount reached what was required for the loss of only three wickets with Noah Birtwistle playing a superb unbeaten innings of 71.
Also in the runs were Wes Young (29), Toby Leach (26) and Tom Clarke (25).
