Unluckiest loser of the weekend was Baston bowler Jules McAlpine who bagged 7-29 in a South Lincs Division One match at Ancaster. His batting teammates let him down though as they were dismissed for 93 to complete a 90-run defeat.

Barnack were awarded a Hunts Division One victory after an injury while fielding reduced opponents Sawtry to nine men. Sawtry declined to continue with Barnack 60-2 chasing 124 at the time of the abandonment. In Division Four Falcon seconds maintained their promotion push with a massive 243-run win over Brampton. Tanveer Mahmood (79), Azizullah Sharifi (76no) and Abdullah Khan (55no) top scored in Falcon’s 291-4 before Brampton were rushed out for just 48.

The big game in Rutland Division One between leaders Wisbech Town and third-placed Barnack went the way of the top dogs by just six runs. In a match reduced to 28 overs a side Johnny Garner struck 69 as Wisbech posted 167-7 before Shahzad Amir’s 76 for Barnack proved in vain. Wisbech now hold a 34 point lead over reigning champions Peterborough Town who have three matches in hand. Stuart Dockerill struck 80 in a losing cause for Castor against Spalding in Division Three.
