Bourne had already won the Lincs T20 title and take on Peterborough Town in a mouthwatering Jaidka Cup Final at Bretton Gate on Friday (July 14). Pete Morgan’s men are the holders of that competition having beaten Town in the final in 2016.

Ansar Hussain (26) top scored for Keys with Ben Stroud, Kidd, James Keywood and Jack Berry all picking up two wickets for Bourne.

Dixon also claimed a wicket and executed a superb run out to clinch the man-of-the-match award.
