Aided by Jack Southworth's 32, Blackrod made 139 all out. Bazid Khan took 3-49 and Steve Walsh 5-43 as the visitors took control.

Khan then struck an unbeaten 83 not out alongside Chris Bullough's 46no to comfortably see A&T home by 10 wickets.

Standish had no problem skittling out Golborne to record an impressive 51-run victory.

John Waddington, 67, and Steven Knowles, 70, set the standard as Standish posted an impressive target of 233-7. Dave Roberts took 3-68 and Chris Benbow 4-81 but Golborne struggled to contain them.

John Waterworth hit back with a sound 37 but the reply crashed to 182 all out under the weight of fine bowling from Arindam Sarkar, 5-33, and Peter Walder, 3-31.
