NCL SPECIAL: Stony go top as big guns slip up, Finedon thump rivals, ONs lose again

They won the battle of the newly-promoted sides at the weekend to take advantage of defeats for Oundle and Peterborough Town and hit the top.

Against winless Kettering, Stony made 214 all out out with Michael Wells hitting 78 as Joel Anthony Derham claimed four for 32 and Jaskaran Singh four for 56.

That was too many for Kettering, as Anish Katechia grabbed six for 59 to see them bowled out for 155 to lose by 59 runs despite 36 from Alex Churchill-Coleman.

​Reigning champions Finedon Dolben are up to second after an emphatic eight-wicket win over title rivals Oundle Town.

It was last season's top two clashing and it was Finedon who dominated.

Waseem Akram's 60 was the mainstay of Oundle's 161 all out, with Daniel Bendon and Drew Brierley both claiming three wickets.

Jordan Strydom then hammered 74 not out from 56 balls as Finedon cruised to 162 for two in 32 overs - Sean Davis adding 51 not out.

​Rushden and Higham secured a second win of the season, beating Old Northamptonians by 18 runs.

Rushden will have feared they were short when they were dismissed for 165, despite 57 for Sam Kumar, while Sikandar Rizwan (4-24) was the pick of the ONs bowlers.

ONs looked well set as they eased to 72 for two with Harry Vesty making 31, but they lost five wickets for 19 to slump to 91 for seven and never recovered, being dismissed for 147 with Chanaka Ruwansiri taking five for 44.

​​Desborough Town are up to third after they secured an unexpectedly comfortable four-wicket win over Peterborough.

Josh Smith was the only Posh batter to fire as they made what looked an under-par 191 all out, with Jake Bindley taking four for 55 and Theo Marshall three for 25.

Desborough were then indebted to a brilliant innings from opener Wayne Steed, who made 96 from 104 balls to steer his side to 194 for six from 42.2 overs, with support coming from Bindley (49no).

​Geddington are up and running after they secured a 15-run win over Kislingbury Temperance.

​Joshua Knight top-scored with 40 as Geddington posted 207 all out, with Jack Bates adding 36 and Northants man Freddie Heldreich 34. Kisl’s best bowlers were Ben Swingler (4-39) and Ashley Starmer (3-46).

Kisl collapsed to 101 for eight, but 48 not out from Swingler and 36 from Lee Daggett got them close at 192 all out! Ned Wilson and Munir Ur Rehman Tanzil took three wickets apiece.
