Halifax made a spirited response, led by skipper Christian Silkstone (Triangle), who made 103. Going in at four, he scored freely after a cautious start and was fourth out with the score on 199.

However, the target proved out of reach and Halifax finished on 237 for eight with Booth’s Rob Laycock (39) and Copley’s Chris Dennison (21) the next top scorers.
