Outcasts 2nds climbed to the top of the Lincs League Division Three table when they beat Nettleham 2nds by six wickets at Hirst Priory with a blend of youth and experience. Nettleham batted first and scored 91 , James Pickering top scoring with 20 as home skipper Jason Whiteley took 3 for 32 , Doug Fann 2 for 28 and Anthony Fitzgerald 2 for 18 before yougsters Arron Hawksworth and Ben Watson each picked up a wicket apiece , thir first in senior cricket. Old hands Andrew Lawson and David Hobson both hit eight and fellow old sage Andy Torr four as Outcasts were reduced to 44 for 3 then Richard Wroot was the fourth man to go , bowled by Dave Hutchinson for a well constructed 31 but Russell Fletcher ( 20 not out ) and Mike Wilkinson ( 7 not out ) saw them home and in doing so lift them above Cleethorpes 3rds to the summit of the league ladder.
