Skipper Will Bradley led by example with a top score of 52 as the visitors posted an impressive 236-6 from 39 overs in a rain-affected match.

Opener Ian Cousins also laid the early foundations with 34, but it was an explosive 54no from just 27 balls from Rich Bannister, including five sixes and four fours, that put Ganton in the driving seat, sharing an unbroken seventh-wicket stand of 85 with Tom Pick (26no)

Ben Duell was the top Mulgrave bowler with 3-54.

The hosts only managed 131-5 in reply, Chris Spenceley scoring 47no and Chris Clarkson 35,

Opener Bri Leckenby showed his class with an excellent 83 in reply, but was offered little help as the nine-man Pikes slipped to 170 all out.

Second-placed Great Habton 2nds suffered a shock 43-run home reverse against relegation-battling Folkton & Flixton 3rds.

Several Flixton batsmen got starts without really pushing on, with Freddie Gunning hitting 31, Daniel Virr 30, and openers Fin Ward and Charlie Colley also hitting 25 apiece for the youthful visitors.

At 85-1 Habton looked in firm control of the run-chase but Colley and Ward then capped fine all-round displays with bowling figures of 3-17 and 3-21 respectively as Habton were all out for 154 in 39.5 overs.

Opener Doug Bentley top-scored for the promotion-chasers with 41 while Jack Stockdale (36) and Will Wright (31) also tried their best.
