No fewer than 17 tons were recorded on beautiful batting tracks with Market Deeping maestro David Gillett leading the big-hitting charts with a blistering 152 against Yaxley in Rutland Division Two.

Gillett batted down the order at number six but blasted a brilliant 152 before falling one short of his career best score! Gillett hammered 17 fours and seven sixes to better by 10 the personal best score his clubmate Tom Andrews recorded 24 hours earlier.

Deeping were finally dismissed for 300 before despatching Yaxley for 179.

Haroon Mohammed of Nassington and Liam Dave of Stamford both scored tons on consecutive days over the weekend.

Haroon followed an unbeaten Cambs League ton on Saturday with another undefeated century in Rutland Division Three at Bourne.

He finished on the losing side on Sunday though as David Christmas smacked 117 not out to steer Bourne to a nine-wicket win.

Dave bagged hundreds for Stamford seconds and firsts to propel his side towards Rutland romps over Buckminster seconds and Castor respectively.

Other tons in the Rutland were recorded by Andrew Gilbert in Orton Park's seven wicket win at Ufford Park in Division Three and Shabir Hussain for Elton Park in a big Division Five win at Market Overton seconds.

Scoring was equally prolific in the Hunts League with Barnack boasting two centurians in their Division One rout of Ramsey.

Steve Best cracked 113 and Simon Scarborough posted 106 as Barnack reached 313-5.

Scarborough also took four wickets, although he was overshadowed on the bowling front by 17 year-old Seth Burkett who claimed a hat-trick as Ramsey were restricted to 173.

Naveed Hussain walloped 10 sixes and eight fours in an innings of 127 for Perkins in Division Two at Houghton & Wyton.

The match yielded an amazing 674 runs in 90 overs with Perkins amassing 354-6.

Ghafoor Rehman claimed his ton in Division Five to help Werrington to a massive win over Hilton.

Abbas Qureshi didn't reach three figures, but still turned in a marvellous all-round display against Netts by taking 3-20 and scoring 86 of a match-winning 131-5.

Oundle's South African import Martin Van Der Merwe bashed 138, but his side had to settle for a Northants Division Three draw with Podington.

Barnack seconds and Oakham seconds fought out an exciting tie in Rutland Division Six where there was also a third straight win for Peterborough Town seconds at Castor.

It wasn't all batting glory over the weekend though as Spalding seconds were rushed out for just 23 to complete a 183 run defeat at Skegness in South Lincs Division Three.
