Treeton's 1st team visited Barnsley's Shaw Lane ground and came away victorious and notched up their twelth victory of the season in the process.

Having been invited to field first, Treeton restricted the hosts to 171 all out, with Ben Ashdown the pick of the bowlers again, with a return of 5 for 21 from eight overs.

Treeton had little trouble losing just one wicket in the run chase as they reached 174 thanks to Andy Tomlinson (78) and an unbeaten 65 from Stephen Foster. The 1st XI maintained their eleven point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

The 2nd XI maintained their place in the promotion slot in Division two after seeing off the challenge of Maltby at Washfield Lane.

Mick Fairman won the toss and invited Maltby to set score, and they reached a competitive 181 for 9, with the skipper himself returning with 4 for 59 from 15 overs.

Treeton stumbled in their pursuit, but the late order rallied as Adam Hardy (24 not out) and Steve Bullough (35 not out) guided the home side to victory with three overs to spare.

The 3rd XI were second best away at Totley B, the 3rd team posted 208 for 6 with Dave Haddock scoring 56 and Matthew Eastwood top scoring with an unbeaten 78.
