CRICKET SPECIAL: Title race goes down to the wire as Loddington fluff their lines

And with Overstone Park hammering Wellingborough Town by 10 wickets, it means the title race is going down to the final games of the season on Saturday.

Loddington will secure top spot if they win their home game with Thrapston (start 11am), but if they make any sort of slip up, Overstone can pinch the glory if they claim victory at Irthlingborough Town.

Callum Plowright top scored for Loddington as they were bowled out for 154 at Wollaston, with Sam Reid taking three for 33.

Loddington will have fancied their chances of claiming the win and the title as they reduced Wollaston to 110 for six in reply, with Ben Roberts bagging three for 42.

But Harry Broome held his nerve to make an unbeaten 33 to see his team home at 155 for seven.

Adam Davies was in great form for the ball, grabbing seven for 29 as Wellingborough were rushed out for just 77 by Overstone, who then coasted to 81 without loss in just 14 overs, with Harry Gouldstone hitting an unbeaten 48.

Saints are one more win away from clinching the Division Two title.

The Birchfield Road East side go into Saturday's final game of the season at Weldon with an 11-point advantage over second-placed Barby, who also end their campaign on the road at Wollaston IIs.

A win for Saints will see them claim the title, but any slip could open the door for their rivals.

Last weekend, Saints beat Wollaston by five wickets. Skipper Oli Chamberlain took four for 13 and Lewis Shelton four for 37 as Wollaston were bowled out for 168.

Calum Du Plessis then hit an unbeaten 58 and Shravan Bhat 44 as Saints eased to 172 for five in just 26.2 overs.

Barby stayed in with a chance as they battered Earls Barton by nine wickets.

Barton were rushed out for just 81 with Craig Scott taking six for 33 and Will Hamilton four for 45, and Chey Manzella then made 39 not out to steer his side to 83 for one.

Burton Latimer IIs maintained their narrow two-point lead over title rivals MK Air in Division Five as they eased to a seven-wicket win at Loddington & Mawsley IIs.

James Coles hit 57 as Loddington posted 157 all out, with Cameron Banks taking three for 24.

That total proved no issue for Latimer as they eased to 159 for three in 20 overs, with Todd Styman hammering 60.

MK Air were five-wicket winners at Bugbrooke in their match to keep the pressure on, but Latimer know the title will be theirs if they win their final game of the season on Saturday at home to fourth-placed Willoughby.

MK Air are also at home, against North Crawley who are fifth.
