Louth
pulled off the surprise result of a rain-affected Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League weekend with victory
over leaders Bracebridge Heath.
After Bracebridge won the toss and elected to bowl, rain
delayed the start and later interrupted and innings in which the bowlers
dominated.
Louth were all out for 123, Craig Schlebush taking four
wickets and Stuart Barker top scoring with 28. But Andy Carrington then went one better with
figures of five for 33 while Stuart West took three for 10 off 33 balls to bowl
the leaders out for 65, only two batsmen making double figures.
This allowed Bourne to narrow the gap at the top following a
winning draw against Spalding who slipped to fourth. Stuart Airey hit 81 in his
side’s 260 for five but despite Colin Cheer’s five wicket haul, Bourne were
unable to bowl their opposition out and Spalding finished 176 for eight.
Woodhall Spa moved into third after recording a similar
result against Sleaford. Matt Sargeant hit
65 as Woodhall fell just two short of maximum batting points on 223 for
nine. Sri Lankan Malinga Bandara, who
flew in to the country on Thursday, celebrated his arrival with three wickets
and a run out and on 89 for seven, Sleaford looked beaten.
But Andy Hibberd and Nathan Titley held the innings together
with a partnership of 51 and at the close Sleaford had reached 155 for eight,
Hibberd unbeaten on 62.
At Skegness, the home side had reached 145 for seven against
Billingborough when rain stopped play while Maninder Singh hit 63 of Grimsby
