NCL RESULTS SPECIAL: Ross rips through Rushton as Brixworth claim first win

The batsmen had no answer to McLean as the opening bowler claimed six for 18 from eight overs to help dismiss Rushton for a pitiful 42 all out.

McLean was backed up by Fred Newborough, who took two for 12, and Williams Thomas (2-11), while Ben Parker scored 20 to at least lift his side from a disastrous 11 for six!

Newborough then hit a swift 28 not out as Brixworth got to their target inside 7.4 overs to claim their first win of the campaign.

Horton House failed to win for the first time this season, and lost top spot in the table in the process.

Saturday morning’s league leaders were in great form with the bat agaibst Rushden as Ewan Cox smashed an excellent 152 from 141 balls, including 18 fours and five sixes.

Jordan King also reached three figures, making 100 not out from 110 balls, and the pair saw Horton to 302 for three from their 50 overs.

Rushden are still striving for their first win of the year, but they did manage to comfortably bat out the 50 overs for the draw at 219 for five.

Sam Kumar top scored with 72, with Chanaka Ruwansiri hitting 45 and Will Bates 39, while for Horton, Thomas Kilby took two for 47.

The new leaders of the premier division are Peterborough, who beat out-of-sorts reigning champions Old Northamptonians by 47 runs.

Posh made what looked a modest 217 for nine in their 50 overs, with the main scorers being Kieran Judd (67), Paul McMahon (41), Joe Dawborn (38) and Lewis Bruce (37), while the pick of the ONs bowlers was William Heathfield who snared four for 63.

The champions would have fancied their chances of overhauling that total, but aside from skipper Rob White, who hit 58, the batsmen struggled as they were dismissed for 170 in 45 overs.

McMahon was the main man with the ball for Peterborough as he claimed five for 47, while Joe Dawborn made the crucial early inroads taking three for 43.

Third-placed Oundle secured their third win of the summer as they beat unpredictable Saints by 91 runs.

Hanno Kotze top scored with 46 as Oundle posted 187 for eight in 50 overs, with Northants youngster Saif Zaib claiming two for 48 from 15 overs.

Zaib then opened the batting for Saints and did his bit with 43 from just 26 balls, but he received no support as the Birchfield Road East team were skittled for 96 in just 22.3 overs.

Primesh Patel led the way with the ball taking four for 52, with Bashrat Hussain claimed three for 39.

Greig Hofbauer cracked an unbeaten 103 as Finedon Dolben scored 210 for seven from their 50 overs against Stony Stratford.

It wasn’t the biggest total, but it proved to be more than enough as Stony were shot out for 103 in reply, Nick Allen hitting 37 and Jarrod Pretorius 35 to rescue their team from 12 for five!

For Finedon, Daniel Bendon bagged four for 10 and Ed Hodgson four for 28.

Bottom-of-the-table Wollaston had another day to forget as they were rushed out for 85 by Geddington, with Jamie Kay snaring five for 23 and Luke Cummins three for 26.

Geddington then eased to 87 for one and a nine-wicket win in 18.3 overs with Mark Steele hitting 38 not out and Amit Dhadwai 35 not out.
