The Roosters found themselves in all sorts of trouble early on in Saturday's Yorkshire Premier League North Premier Division derby clash, slumping to 99/5.
But, lower-order runs from ex-Yorkshire CCC spinner Jack Shutt (57) and captain David Stiff (49) guided the hosts to 221/9 at the end of their 50 overs and ensured they at least had a reasonable total to defend.
