Bracebridge
continued their run of maximum points in the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League with victory
over Market Rasen, while second placed Spalding were held to a draw by Billingborough.
Tom Andrews
took seven wickets as Market Deeping picked up 20 points against Grimsby
Market
Rasen were no match for Matt Carter whose five wickets took his total to 14
from three games. Rasen were all out for
130 and Nick John’s unbeaten 65 saw the leaders to an eight wicket win.
At
Billingborough, Thivanka Rajatne put in a man of the match performance for
Spalding, hitting 82 runs and taking five wickets. Spalding were dismissed for
212, with veteran Roy Tilley taking five for the home side while captain Steve
Scott ensured his side took 11 points from the game with an unbeaten 57 which
saw Billingborough reach 178 for nine.
Woodhall
Spa were also held to a draw after reaching 229 for eight, thanks to half
centuries from Sam Evison and Matt Sargeant.
Louth were then reduced to 32 for three before Amila Wettasinghe and
Henry Tye staged a comeback with a partnership of 89. From here, wickets fell steadily but the
final pair held on, Louth finishing 181 for nine.
Chris Jones
was the day’s top scorer with 98 for Market Deeping who amassed 279 for seven
and despite Maninder Singh’s unbeaten 51, Grimsby
Carl Wilson
was unbeaten on 75 when Bourne’s overs ran out with the score on 231 for eight
and despite Tim McIntosh batting through for an unbeaten 92, Sleaford finished
30 runs short of their target.
Lindum recorded
their first victory of the season after losing early wickets to a determined Skegness
bowling attack. Luke Robinson’s 71 was
the mainstay of the innings of 200, the final wicket falling in the 50th
over after the last pair had added 42.
Skegness
fought hard but the batsmen were unable to build any sizeable stands and the
seasiders were all out for 134, Stuart Turner claiming five for 22.
Roy Tilley was a member of the team when Billingborough played their first ever
game in a league (in 1986 when they joined the South Lincolnshire & Border
League). Yesterday he took five wickets against Spalding in Billingborough's
first season in the Lincs ECB Premier League.
