Calmy’s stint took just 6.5 overs and he was well backed-up by team-mate Phil Frazer who took the remaining three Haverigg wickets for just 10 runs in six overs.

Carlisle then went on to a record a 10-wicket win in 6.4 overs, making 28 without loss.

Kirkby had first knock at Millom and, with the top order all batting well, were 273 for 4 at tea. James Thornton hit another century, making 145 with four sixes and 18 fours, and Mike Fugler made 46.

Millom’s top order were also in good nick, Danny Fallows top-scoring with 73, and Mike Gill, Graham Dawson and Robert Thompson all passing 30. But they were 241 for 9 when overs ran out. Mark Etchells took 4 for 77 in his 15 overs.

Seascale won the toss and batted first and made a good start. Openers Adam Brown, with 65, and Jack Stubbings, 25, supported by No3 Joe Hammond with 31.

There was a shortage of further scores and the home side were all out in the 49th over for 168. Lee Hogg 6 for 65 and Edward Waind 3 for 23, kept the Moor in control.

After tea Lindal Moor lost two early wickets, but opener Sam Beckman with 85 not out, and Mark Daly, 51 not out, saw their side to the win in the 26th over at 170 for 2.

After a good start Workington failed to profit and were 164 for 7 in 50 overs. Opener Jordan Whinn made 74 not out, Liam Hazzard 30. Stuart Cooper took 5 for 14 in 13 overs.

Ulverston were 24 for 2 when rain reduced the target to 156, and with 67 not out from Gareth Yates, and 35 not out from Ben Dryden, Ulverston went to 156 for 5 in the 38th over.

In the Premier Division, in first Whitehaven showed better form.

With 51 from Jack McNicholas and 39 from Chase Young, they were all out in the 48th over for 171. Tony Butler bowled 15 excellent overs to take 4 for 38 and Johannes Diseko gave good support with 3 for 32 in 13.2 overs.

Dalton in reply were soon in deep trouble with five of the top six back in the shed with 23 runs between them.

However, Liam Curwen then joined Jack Singleton and the Whitehaven attack was pulverised, Curwen smashing an unbeaten 80 off 49 deliveries, with six sixes and four fours, and the dependable Singleton ending on 49 not out with 7 fours, to see Dalton to a winning 172 for 5 in 32.1 overs

At Furness Park, both teams again gave us an excellent game with 474 runs scored.

Wigton made a disastrous start to be 20 for 3 but a 99 run stand by Angus Harman and Mikey Hill pulled the game around. Hill went for 53 but Harman got little help from the tail and was eventually out for 127, with three sixes and 13 fours and his side were all out for 225 in the last over. Seth Rance returned 5 for 45 and Jordan Buchanan 4 for 66.

After two spells of rain the Furness target was reducd to 97 off 22 overs, but they fell just short at 93 for 4.
