Woodhall Spa recorded their second 20 point win of the season in the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League to stay top of the table with a 100 per cent record.
Louth were the victims at Jubilee Park, being bowled out for 172 and it was young batsman Conrad Louth who hit the winning four, at the same time taking his own score to 100.
Champions Bracebridge Heath also picked up 20 points after bowling Lin
dum out for 173 - of which Josh Brodie hit 96 - and going on to claim a nine wicket win with Mark Fell and Paul Cook among the runs, hitting 82no and 72 respectively.
Bracebridge stay second while Market Deeping made it three wins out of three to climb into third after bowling newcomers Haxey out for 100, five wickets falling to Nick Cowley, and winning by eight wickets.
Richard Antcliffe recorded the highest score of the weekend hitting 120 of Grimsby’s total of 210 for four. Caistor then suffered another miserable result as they were bowled out for 76.
For the second time in a week, Nettleham got the better of Sleaford, following up their cup win with a six wicket victory after restricting their opponents to 150 for seven. Phil Sneath hit 55 for Sleaford and Ashique Rahman an unbeaten 58 for the victors in this match.
And Messingham’s score of 210 for six – in which Ian Dawson made 62 and Jason Scheepers 79 – proved too much for Bourne who nevertheless managed 180 for eight and a share of the points.
