METHLEY tasted the highs and lows of Central Yorkshire League cricket at the weekend.
On Saturday they slipped off the pace in the Premier Division championship race with a humbling 155-run defeat at leaders Wrenthorpe.
But they put that disappointment behind them the following day as John Proud and Vic Craven guided the side into the Jack Hampshire Cup semi-finals with a six-run win at fellow title hopefuls Birstall.


Opener Proud cracked 57 and Ryan Bradshaw made an unbeaten 38 as Methley posted 149-5 in a quarter-final reduced to 27 overs per side due to rain.
The target proved just beyond Birstall, whose reply closed on 143-9. Craven grabbed 4-55 from six expensive overs while Leaf, Chris Kippax and Mick Waite did just enough to shackle the visitors with wicket-taking spells.

John Inglis, who spent last season at Methley, top-scored with 42 in Saturday's heavy CYL defeat.
David Paynter hit 40 as Wrenthorpe scored a challenging 210-8 from 50 overs.
But Methley crashed to their first league defeat of the season after being knocked over for a paltry 55. Only Craven, Ryan Bradshaw and young Jack Bridges made it into double figures as Dinusha Fernando (5-28) and Neil Gill (5-27) ripped through the order.
It leaves Methley nine points behind the leaders and six adrift of second-place Birstall.
