Winter Rounders: The Farnworth League saw a change at the top as Elton Vale recorded a seven-run win over BYP Ladies A, who have seen their title hopes fade after two narrow defeats to their closest rivals in consecutive weeks.
Elton took a nine-run lead in the first innings (77-68) and, despite being held to 76 in the second innings, they had done enough to win the game by seven and move to the top on the table.
The top two both have an open date in the last four weeks of the season, but unless they slip up in their remaining matches, The Grapes, who were without a game on Sunday, are destined to miss out on honours.
