The race

lost to challengers Sleaford. And with
Bracebridge Heath also winning at Grimsby
Woodhall posted a challenging 249 for six at London Road, Ben
O’Brien smashing 113 off 89 balls with eight fours and seven sixes. But
after Matt Sergeant and Luke Smith had each taken a wicket to leave Sleaford 59
for two, Tim McIntosh with an unbeaten 135 and Paul Roberts with 83 not out saw
their side to victory.
At Augusta Street, Grimsby finished on 221 for eight, Harry
Warwick (52) and Steve Crossley (64) putting on 96 for the third wicket. Paul Cook then became the day’s third
centurion, his 125 off 106 balls taking Bracebridge to victory.
Bracebridge now lead Market Deeping by 16 points after the
fourth placed side fought out a high scoring draw at Bourne but came out on the
wrong side.
Pete Morgan, Conrad Louth and Matthew Hawken all made half
centuries as the home side again recorded the day’s highest total of 259 for
seven. Deeping fought hard to reach
their target, Chris Jones making 74. but fell 26 runs short, finishing with
nine wickets down to take home 11 points.
Lindum are now just two adrift of Deeping after inflicting a
crushing defeat on Spalding. Will Wright
added another 71 runs to his ever-growing total to help the Lincoln
Skegness stayed sixth after a seven wicket win over Haxey who
made 168 for seven. The seasiders were
then reduced to 48 for three but Haxey had no further success as Ricky Lovelace
(68no) and Norman Brackley (65no) saw their side to victory.
Louth are now on equal points with Bourne after winning a
tight game against bottom side Hartsholme.
Zeeshan Ahmed made 61 of Louth’s total of 210 for six but Kit Spence’s
52 saw the Lincoln
