The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
FOUR-SOME: Charlie Kearns picked up four Bourne wickets.
Spalding Town roared to their best result of the season so far on Saturday as they humbled Lincs ECB Premier League leaders Bourne on their own patch.
Young gun Henry Charlton (73) and Ben Smith (81) both made impressive contributions in Town’s 239-9 at the Abbey Lawn, with Josh Newton (25) also scoring smartly.
Charlie Kearns (4-52), Jack Barratt (3-20), Nuwan Jayasena (1-42) and Charlton (1-20) then skittled out Bourne’s explosive batting line-up out for just 139 to seal a 100-run success, with Carl Wilson (49) and Rob Bentley (44) the only two to make decent knocks.
