NCL SPECIAL: White stars with bat and ball as ONs edge past rivals Finedon

ONs now sit 11 points clear of Finedon at the summit thanks to the success, which came after they chased down the opposition’s 180 all out.

White claimed four for 43, with William Heathfield (3-31) and Northants bowler Gareth Wade (2-65) also among the wickets.

And it was then left to opener White to complete an impressive all-round display as he and Richard Kaufman (29) registered key runs in the successful reply.

Northants all-rounder Saif Zaib shone for Saints, but they were beaten by just eight runs at Horton House.

Zaib took five for 39 and Jake Higginbotham four for 62 as Horton were bowled out for 194.

Andrew Neate was the top home contributor with 51, and Neate’s side then tidied up to stop Saints securing the win as the away side were skittled out for 186.

Zaib made 55 and Mark Wolstenholme 39, but four for 60 from William Knibbs, allied with the efforts of Neate (3-31) and Marcus Gross (2-13), proved enough to earn Horton the win.

Brixworth were beaten by eight wickets at Brigstock, despite 40 from opener Alex Lacey.

The away side could only make 145 before Brigstock cruised home.

It’s tight at the top in division one, with East Haddon, Overstone Park, Old Northamptonians IIs and Stony Stratford all keeping the pressure on leaders Irthlingborough Town.

Overstone claimed a thrilling one-wicket win against Kettering thanks to an unbeaten 38 from Guy Sunter, who had earlier taken two for 29 as Kettering were dismissed for 160.

Old Northamptonians IIs beat Weekley & Warkton by six wickets.

James Mellor hit an unbeaten 44 to see ONs home, with Phillip Evans earlier taking three for 26 as Weekley were skittled out for just 126.

Second-placed East Haddon beat table-toppers Irthlingborough by 25 runs thanks to three wickets apiece from Faisal Khaliq and Christopher Plowman.

Plowman earlier hit 49 in Haddon’s 195 for six.

Stony Stratford beat Desborough Town by five wickets as they chased down the opposition’s 189 for six.

Full round-up of all the results and the best performers from all 14 divisions of the NCL is below, plus this weekend’s fixtures.
