Meichan registered a duck in an easy Hunts Division One win over Ramsey seconds on Saturday (May 18) before blasting an unbeaten 103 in a nine-wicket Rutland Division Four success over Moulton Harrox seconds 24 hours later.

Clive Evans was more consistent as he followed an undefeated 97 for Orton in that win over Ramsey with 62 not out for Whittlesey in a two-wicket Rutland Division Two success over Nassington. Teenager Sam Jarvis registered his first senior half century for Orton Park against Ramsey.

Hampton toppled Hunts Division One leaders Biggleswade thanks partly to a spectacular knock from Andy Beech. Beech arrived at the crease with the city side struggling on 56-4, but smacked 76 from 50 balls (nine fours, three sixes) to wrest the initiative away from the top dogs. Hampton closed on 186-9 before bowling Biggleswade out for 102 with Sam Garland (5-27) impressing.

Matthew Mitchell (7-21) delivered the best bowling figures of the week for Welby Cavaliers in a South Lincs Division One win over Pinchbeck.
