Sessay maintained their advantage over the chasing pack after four of the top five in the Hunters York & District Senior League Premier Division picked up maximum points, Beverley Town were the only ones to miss out and defeat to promotion rivals Studley Royal saw them drop three places to sixth.
A century from James Clarkson (124) helped second placed Studley Royal rebuff the challenge of visitors Beverley Town Cricket Club who began the day in third place.
