David France the hero as Cuckney seal thrilling one run win over Kimberley

David France took the final wicket to win a dramatic match for Cuckey.

Cuckney struggled after electing to bat and lost early and regular wickets.

But, lead by 38 from Will Butler and 37 from Tom Ullyott, Cuckney pushed up to 189 all out, leaving one over unused.

Kimberley used eight bowlers, with Dominic Brown (3 for 40) and (Liam Patterson-White (3 for 41) the pick.

Despite the loss of an early wicket, Kimberley appeared to be on their way to a fourth win in four games with Matt Taylor (44) and Tome Rowe out in the middle.

The pair had added 93 together, Rowe reaching a half century, but when he was run out on 53 things got interesting.

Cuckney kept chipping away at the wickets such that the last pair came together with 18 runs wanted from two overs.

They managed 11 in the penultimate over and needed only two from the final three balls.

David France though had other ideas, picking up the last of his 3 for 26 to seal nail-biting win for Cuckney. Nick Keast grabbed 3 for 34 along the way for Cuckney.

Struggling Mansfield Hosiery Mills have lost four from four after they were well beaten by Papplewick & Linby.

Hosiery Mills had no answer to Daniel Blatherwick (3 for 14) and George Baltherwick (3 for 23). They led the way as the Millers were skittled out for 93.

The visitors needed just over 22 overs to reach their target, for the loss of 3 wickets, with Ben Trevor-Jones top scoring with 26.
