James Quinlan came into the attack with the score on 32-4 and set about finishing off the innings in quick fashion.

Bowling a brilliant spell of 5 for 5 from 7.2 overs, Quinlan claimed his first five-wicket haul in senior cricket to bowl out Heckington for 59.

Rasen’s reply got off to a fast start as they reached 30 inside four overs, and despite losing two quick wickets, the result was never in doubt.

Debutant Ali Rashid and skipper Daniel Clark put on 25 inside four overs as Rasen reached their target in only the 10th over.

The rapid win lifted the Sunday XI up to third in the Lincoln and District League.

This weekend, the Sunday XI travel to Blankney for a 1.30pm start.
