Their comprehensive victory, coupled with Peterborough’s defeat to Rushden, saw Oundle go top with Rushton now up to second thanks to their win over Stony Stratford.

The division is wide open with the top six separated by just 25 points.

Oundle had little difficulty condemning Wollaston to their seventh defeat in seven, with Hanno Kotze taking five for 12 and Bashrat Husain four for 29 as the bottom-markers were rushed out for 71.

Kotze then hit an unbeaten 43 to steer his side to 74 for two and top spot in the table.

Peterborough posted 210 for eight in their clash with Rushden, with Lewis Bruce top scoring with 62.

But it wasn’t enough as Chanaka Ruwansiri’s 80 guided Rushden to 214 for six and a four-wicket victory.

Rushton’s impressive form continued as they beat Stony Stratford by 20 runs.

Marcus Steed was their star man, claiming five for 66 to help dismiss Stony for 181 in reply to Rushton’s modest 201 all out, which was built around 93 by Ben Coddington.

Reigning champions Old Northamptonians were frustrated again, but despite their stuttering start they are still in the title mix as they are fifth in the table, only 22 points off the top spot.

This time Rob White’s men had to settle for a draw against Geddington after making 235 for eight, with solid contributions from White (41), Thomas Hafil (39) and George Arblaster (40), with Amit Dhadwal (4-58) the pick of the Geddington bowlers.

Dhadwal then frustrated ONs with the bat as well, hitting 50 as the east Northants side secured a share of the spoils at 201 for eight.

Brixworth leapfrogged rivals Saints as they won at Birchfield Road East.

Ashley Starmer claimed four for 47 as Saints were bowled out for 174, with Harry Adair making 74.

It never looked to be enough, and it wasn’t as Brixworth coasted to 179 for four with Callum Guest making an unbeaten 50.

Horton House seem to be on the slide after their impressive start to the season, and they were beaten by 37 runs by Finedon, who are now fourth.

Mark Wolstensholme did his bit with the ball for Horton, bagging four for 44 as Finedon were restricted to 176 for nine, with Jack Keeping’s 40 the top score.

Horton must have fancied their chances of overhauling that total, but they were bowled out for 139 despite a battling 47 from opener Richard Falkner.

Tom Brett was the main man with the ball for Finedon, claiming four for 29.
