CRICKET SPECIAL Hassan heroics not enough as Stony lose top spot to rivals Finedon

Stony had gone top of the pile the previous week, but have now dropped to second and nine points off the new leaders after Finedon secured an emphatic 102-run success at Ostlers Lane.

Things looked good for Stony as they reduced Finedon to 31 for three, with Farhad Hassan doing the damage.

But Finedon hit back as Drew Brierley made 58 and Daniel Bendon 40, but when Brierley was dismissed they were back in trouble at 143 for six.

Enter Alex Evans, who made 67 from 81 balls, and with Mark Wolstenholme adding 27, the reigning champions closed on 233 all out.

Hassan was Stony's star of the show with the ball, claiming eight for 55 from 15 overs.

Stony were in decent shape at 51 for two in reply, but then the wheels came off as, despite resistance from James Hildreth (45), they were bowled out for just 131 in 45.2 overs.

Tom Brett was the pick of the Finedon attack with three for 29, while there were two wickets apiece for Jack Fuller and Bendon.

It was third against fourth as Geddington hosted Peterborough Town, and the wheels continue to fall off for the latter as they were beaten by five wickets to suffer a fifth straight defeat.

Chris Milner hit 52 and Zeeshan Manzoor 45 as Peterborough made 239 for nine, with Gurveer Singh claiming four for 43.

Geddington took their time in reaching their target, but they got there with just three balls to spare with Andy Reynoldson hitting an unbeaten 68, the in-form Jack Lees 60 and Keshav Sthanakiya 58.

Geddington are now 38 points clear in third place, and 21 behind second-placed Stony. They entertain leaders Finedon on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Kislingbury Temperance had a day to forget as they were bowled out for just 93 on their way to a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Oundle Town.

Conor Craig took four for 45 as a Kisl side shorn of their Northants contingent were rolled over, with Oundle then easing to victory at 95 for four.

Rushden & Higham Town climbed off the bottom of the table as they saw off Old Northamptonians by five wickets.

Anshul Poothi top scored with 50 as ONs posted 218 all out, with Ben Paine taking four for 71.

That was not enough as Rushden eased to 220 for five, with Phillip Materna making 48 and Sam Kumar 48 not out.

Loddington & Mawsley are now bottom of the pile after they lost by six wickets to Overstone Park.

Harvey Julyan took four for 20 as Loddington were dismissed for 119, with Ram Patel then guiding Overstone to victory at 122 for four.
