Deeping bowled well to restrict their visitors to 211, but could muster just 123 themselves despite a patient 35 from opener Connor Gillett.

Bourne are at Lindum this Saturday for a top-of-the-table showdown when Deeping visit local rivals Long Sutton who are winless following their promotion from the South Lincs League.

Sutton went down by 124 runs at Bracebridge Heath last weekend.
