Whereas Bourne got within two runs of Sleaford’s 292-5 at the Abbey Lawns, Deeping suffered a bad batting collapse on their way to a 102-run reverse at the hands of Lindum at Outgang Road.

Youngsters Connor Gillett (30), James Hook (25) and Kieran Judd (23) gave Deeping a solid platform as they chased Lincoln’s 231-4, but they lost their last six wickets for just 10 runs.

Rob Cook (107no & 4-15) was Lindum’s star performer.

Bourne lost two early wickets chasing Sleaford’s imposing 50-over total of 292-5, but opener Jordan Temple (65) and skipper Pete Morgan (61) steadied the ship before useful lower order runs from Robert Dunn (35), Steve Crossley (33) and Dan Bandaranaike (24) almost got the home side home.
