VICTORY over Hexham Leazes saw Allendale add the West Tyne Cricket League trophy to the KO Cup they won earlier this year.

The 47 run triumph means they cannot be caught by Matfen Hall, who all but secured the runners-up spot by defeating Humshaugh, going into the final day of the season on Saturday.

With Elliot Corbel hitting 67 and John Welch following up his maiden first team century with 61, Allendale posted 231-9 before restricting Leazes to 184-4 in reply.

The Division Two title will be decided on Saturday with Belsay and Stamfordham both playing for the right to step up a division.

Belsay lead their rivals by five points ahead of their final game at struggling Stocksfield IV, with Stamfordham at home to Hexham Leazes II.
