WATH coasted to safety with a nine wicket win over already relegated Houghton Main.

Given the forecast and needing victory for survival, Wath set about Houghton with the ball and dismissed them for a mere 95.

Skipper Rob Barlow took four for 23 and Shawn Hopkins bowled a double wicket maiden to polish off the innings.

Danish Hussain offered some resistance with 38.

Wath got to the target in the 17th over with overseas player Hayden Byrne smacking 38 off 20 to see them home.

That result ensured Barnsley Woolley Miners’ 2nd XI would be joining Houghton in Division One next season whatever their result at Doncaster Town 2nd XI.

They fell to a four run defeat chasing a revised target of 135 off 40 overs.

Alfie Gosney top scored with 44.
