The game started well for Caistor when Peter Jacob, behind the stumps, held onto a catch from Matt O’Halloran, off the bowling of Sean Wooley, in just the third over.

The Cherry innings never really got going and had the stuffing totally knocked out of it when Paul Jackson bowled Ben Roebuck, and then had Deklan Binnington caught first ball by Harry Boulton.

Jackson then completed his hat-trick by bowling Caleb Pipes-Goulsbra first ball on his way to final figures of 16 overs, 11 maidens, 4 for 12.
