RAMPANT Leverington continued their cruise towards the Cambs Junior 2A title with a nine-wicket win over Little Downham on Saturday.

Ricky Brown (4-18), James Barnard (2-14) and John Gill (2-1) were the chief destroyers as Downham were shot out for 89.

Opener Jacques Steynberg’s quickfire 68 helped table-topping Leverington race to their target - keeping them firm favourites for the league title.

• A LAST-WICKET stand of 20 left Wisbech frustrated on Saturday after they fell to a one-wicket defeat against Tucker Gardner Premier Division strugglers Cambridge Granta II.

Carl Pope (65 not out) and Henry Rosier (44) powered Wisbech to 201-5 before captain Gary Freear decided to declare with two overs to go.

But the extra 12 balls would prove vital for Granta, who secured a thrilling win with one wicket remaining in the last over. Spinners Craig Johnson (4-62) and Freear (3-61) had put Wisbech in control before Granta’s fightback.

• WISBECH III were plunged further into the Cambs Junior 2A relegation mire as they fell to a six-wicket defeat against Needingworth.

Martin Parrin and Adrian Peck took two wickets each in Needingworth’s reply but Wisbech were beaten inside 25 overs.

• WISBECH IV remain rooted to the foot of Cambs Junior 3A after suffering a seven-wicket defeat against St Ives III on Saturday.

Both of Wisbech’s games on Sunday were abandoned due to the weather.
