Harry Bentley hit an unbeaten 31 while Damien Herrick was 20 not out as Uffington secured the win inside 21 overs which moved them above Whittlesey and out of the bottom twoo.

Oakham are just seven points clear of Uffington having played two games more after a four-wicket win over Werrington 2nds.

Rajiv Sen took 3-29 from seven overs while Will Begy and Angus Owen both took two wickets each as Werrington were restricted to 197-9 from 45 overs.

Oakham were set a rain revised target of 162 from 37 overs and an unbeaten 53 not out from Owen secured their success.

Barnack's bid for the Division One title was briefly stalled by the wet weather in their match at Uppingham.

The leaders had been bowled out for 175 after being out into bat with Usman Sadiq scoring 58 and Javad Ghani adding 55.

Bourne then slipped to 21-4 in reply but half-centuries from Young (51) and Will Gardner (55) looked to have guided them back into the match.
