Wisbech are second with a game in hand after their tight two-wicket win in Grantham where Kieran Haynes (5-25) and Josh Bowers (52) were their star performers.
Mohammed Danyaal smacked a brutal 85 not out from 47 balls (10 fours, two sixes) and Scott Howard contributed a run-a-ball 60 as Peterborough Town piled up 304-7 on the way to a 149-run win over March Town at Bretton Gate.
Ryan Evans (52) and Reece Smith (44no) batted well as Castor won at Oundle by 23 runs in a relatively low-scoring game.
