Brigg Town Cricket Club wicketkeeper/batsman Mark Dawson stroked 40, including six boundaries, during Saturday's Lincolnshire County Cricket League division four fixture away to Old Lincolnians 2nds.
The sportsman nicknamed Dilly batted down the order at number eight and helped Town recover to total 108.
Unfortunately, this proved insufficient with the Lincoln side securing a six-wicket victory.
The good news for second-placed Brigg was that leaders Cleethorpes 4ths were also beaten.
Brigg are without a Lincs League game this Saturday.
