Bradford & Bingley claimed a valuable 98-run over Woodlands in their bid to pull clear of the relegation zone. They made 209 all out with Rob Walker (42), Michael Clarke (41) and Jacob Roach (38) leading the way against a bowling attack in which teenagers Chris Walker (5-55) and George Saville (4-75) were the most successful bowlers. Woodlands were dismissed for just 111.
