Brigg Town Cricket Club achieved a comfortable eight-wicket home win over East Halton in a Lincolnshire League Supplementary Cup Group A game at the Recreation Ground yesterday (Saturday, May 29).
Town dismissed the visiting villagers for 68 and then lost only two batsmen on their way to achieving victory with plenty of overs to spare.
However, Brigg have failed to qualify for the competition's semi-finals, having won one but lost two of their Group A fixtures. Barton Town 2nds have qualified from Brigg's section.
Broughton's first teamers secured a welcome six-wicket win in Division One when visiting Lincoln to play Bracebridge Heath 2nds yesterday.
Broughton bowled out their host for 115 inside the permitted 45 overs, Robbie Ward leading the way with four for 18, and Sam Hayton and Sean Clixby taking two wickets apiece.
Nick Dobbs then finished 31 not out as Broughton achieved victory and secured the full 20 points on offer, losing four wickets in the process.
That win against one of their fellow promotion challengers sees Broughton at the top of Division One after five fixtures.
Broughton 2nds and Hibaldstow were without Lincs League fixtures yesterday.
