Bilton registered a much-needed win when they entertained Horsforth Hall Park, climbing out of the relegation zone in the process.

A run of five consecutive losses left David Cummings’ men second-from-bottom of the pile heading into Saturday’s fixture, however they managed to prevent their opponents from progressing any further than 180 all out.

Russell Robshaw bowled superbly, picking up 5-38, while skipper Cummings claimed 3-35.

It took Bilton until the very last of their allotted 50 overs to complete their run-chase, though they did eventually get the job done with two wickets to spare.
