TODMORDEN professional Morne van Wyk was the star of the day as the Lancashire League completed the first Sunday games of the season.

The weather has played havoc with the programme so far this year. But the big-hitting South African brightened Centre Vale with his unbeaten 142.

His 13 boundaries and five sixes were much needed as East Lancs had looked set to clinch their first win of the season with a total of 241-7, despite James Morgan claiming five wickets from just 11 overs.

But van Wyk banished those win hopes virtually single-handedly.

Bharat Tripathi earned the bragging rights in his household as Lowerhouse beat Burnley by 13 runs at Liverpool Road.

But, on a personal note, it was not a performance that either Bharat or his brother Vishal will remember fondly.

Bharat was run out for one, while Vishal went for a duck as Burnley, who have yet to win this season, had an early struggle in their innings.

Enfield maintained their place at the top of the SponsorBank Lancashire League as a 20-run win at neighbours Accrington kept their unbeaten start to the new campaign intact.

Craig Fergusson and professional Alviro Petersen again combined well to help the Dill Hall Lane side post a target of 165.

After openers Graeme Sneddon and Zahir Afzal fell cheaply, professional Nishit Shetty (81) and captain Matt Wilson (41) boosted the run rate.

But it wasn't a happy birthday for Shetty as, after his and Wilson's departures, only Donnelly was able to post a score.

Nelson put the pressure on Enfield as they took maximum points from their four-wicket win at home to Colne.

South African professional Robin Peterson top scored with an unbeaten 81.

Ramsbottom are just one point behind Nelson in third after decent contributions throughout the side helped them to a 37-run win over Bacup.

Rishton slipped in the table after stumbling to 77 all-out in their derby at home to Church, while Haslingden recorded a three-wicket win over Rawtenstall thanks to professional Tama Canning's five-wicket haul.
