HIT & MISS enjoyed a fine week as the Eight-a-side Indoor Cricket League at Bar Lane Community Centre in Basford gathered momentum towards the season finale.
They closed the gap on the Premier Division leaders to one point with two comprehensive wins seeing them pick up 12 points from the 14 available.
Justin Graham and Robert Shead were named man of the match in the two games.
Freakezoids and Kashmir All-Stars were the teams to lose out to Hit & Miss, Freakezoids losing 135-60 and Kashmir losing 150-69.
Freakezoids will be disappointed with this result after a strong start to the season and are now 16 points behind in third but they do still have two games in hand and if they win them they will stay in contention.
League leaders Basford Mill had a comfortable win over Bitter & Twisted, winning three bonus points and the three points for the win.
With four matches to go to the end of the season, the prize money of £500 to the winners and £250 to the runners-up is going to boil up into an exciting climax between the top three of Basford Mill, Hit & Miss and Freakezoids.
In Division One, there was a closely contested match between the men in green (Ruddington) versus Basford Manor, with victory going to Manor by 34 runs to move them four points above Ruddington.
Man of the match went to Basford's Chris Hudson, hitting 32 runs and taking two wickets.
The lads from Sheffield, Apperknowle, maintained their impressive season with victory over Thrumpton to extend their lead at the top of the table by seven points.
All teams have five matches left and these could leave a nail-biting finish to the Autumn season.
Game of the week in Division Two came from Ashby BT's nail-biting one-run victory over Kashmir All-Star's, with scores of 97 to 96.
Kashmir, however, took three bonus points to move them onto 36 points and level with Ashby BT's with one game in hand.
