Lincolnshire Premier League and South Lincs and Border League cricket round-up

Spalding were celebrating their maiden win of the Lincolnshire Premier League campaign on Saturday.

They beat Nettleham by three wickets at Seas End Hall for their first victory of the season after back-to-back defeats.

Spalding had put their Lincoln visitors into bat after winning the toss and that looked to be a good decision as Nettleham slumped to 14-3.

Harsh Bhandari struck twice with Nilantha Atapattu also adding a wicket before he struck twice more to leave Nettleham on 57-5.

A 77-run stand for the sixth wicket stalled Spalding before Barnaby Dring made the vital breakthrough with Walter Kinlock then chipping in with a couple of scalps to leave Nettleham on 159-9.

A defiant final wicket partnership of 46 was broken up when M Key bowled S Ashcroft to leave Nettleham 205 all out with last man J Butler unbeaten on 38.

Spalding lost an early wicket in their reply when Ollie Dring was dismissed for three but Jon Manton and Jamie Coles steadied the ship.

They put on 77 runs for the second wicket before Manton (39), Barnaby Dring and Chris Dring all departed in quick succession.

Coles also fell for 26 with Spalding on 102-5 but Bhandari and Kinlock rallied with a 56-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

Bhandari made 20 and Kinlock added 38 which left Josh Lawrence (18no) and Ethan Lawrence (20no) to steer Spalding to victory with an unbroken stand of 34.

Market Deeping are still seeking their first success of the season after losing by seven wickets at Grantham.

The visitors had made a decent 260-7 from their 50 overs after electing to bat first as they overcame the early losses of Connor Gillett and Josh Smith which left them on 15-2.

Sam Jarvis (35) and Aashar Mehmood (32) led the recovery with an 81-run partnership for the third wicket and, despite the duo departing soon after each other, George Woods and Sam Malton took over the baton.

Woods top-scored with 63 while Malton made 52 not out as Deeping registered their highest score of the season so far.

Wickets for Jarvis and Muhammad Salahuddin, along with a Dan George run out, left Grantham on 79-3 before Aqib Afzaal and Sakhumuzi Ndlela came together.

They formed an unbroken partnership of 183 to steer Grantham home with eight overs to spare as Ndlela needed just 95 balls to score his 104 not out which featured 16 fours and two sixes while Afzaal was unbeaten on 64 at the close.

Moulton Harrox are one of only two sides who still have a 100 percent winning record in the top flight of the South Lincs and Border League after a derby victory on Saturday.

They defeated Long Sutton by nine wickets in their Championship clash at Broad Lane to chalk up their third league win of the season.

Harrow dismissed their visitors for 95 with captain Matt Rose and Curtis Todd leading the home attack.

Rose returned 3-13 from 5.4 overs while Todd took 3-18 off a nine-over spell.

They were well supported by Harry Lovell (2-20) and Flynn McMillan (2-31).

Barry Stanway and Dan Oldfield top scored for Long Sutton with 21 and 20 respectively.

Moulton needed less than 17 overs to pass their target as openers Jamie Juckes and Ruari Drumm led their charge to victory.

Juckes fell for 33 while Drumm was undefeated one run short of his half-century when Moulton wrapped up the win.

It sentenced Long Sutton to a third successive defeat following their relegation from the Lincolnshire Premier League.

Bourne 2nds have yet to taste defeat this season after an impressive 35-run win away at Newborough.

A brutal innings from Tom Dixon helped Bourne reach 227 as he took just 76 balls to score 121 which featured 12 fours and eight sixes.

Grant Van Rensburg also added 29 to the total before Bourne dismissed their hosts for 192 with skipper Ben Woodward taking 3-29.

Tom Patchett, Drew Kirtland-Blundell and Dixon also took two wickets each for Bourne.

Long Sutton reversed the fortunes in their Division One match with Moulton Harrox in the clash between the club's second teams.

Moulton made 202-8 from their 45 overs after batting first with Danny Jackson top-scoring with 42 while Cameron Fox added 31.

Oliver Despicht and Pradeep Indika were both unbeaten on 29 and 23 respectively at the end of the Moulton innings.

Rob Simpson was the pick of the Sutton attack with 3-36 before the home side swept to victory with seven overs to spare.

Opener Luke Barnes made 29 before Phil Barnes and Charith Harshana put on an unbroken stand by hitting 57 and 65 respectively.
