Former Notts player Matthew Dowman cracked at 112 and current Lincs minor counties star Daniel Freeman made 92 as Grantham amassed 273-4 in their 50 overs.

Jordan Temple (46) batted well at the start of Bourne’s reply, but a steady loss of wickets ensured the visitors were never ahead of the game and they were eventually despatched for 164 to complete a 109-run reverse with almost 12 overs to spare.
