CAISTOR Town's seamers did most of the damage as the Brigg Road club recorded their maiden victory of the Lincolnshire County Cricket League season.
With fellow strugglers Nettleham the visitors, Paul Dimbleby (five for 22) and Paul Jackson (three for 18) starred to hand the home side 20 crucial Premier Division points.
The Caistor bowlers were well supported in the field, with seven catches being held in total – including three by Harry Boulton at second slip.
Boulton then went out to open the Caistor reply and held things together with an undefeated 31 – the next highest score being only six.
In total the home side lost six wickets in their chase, before securing a nervy victory in the 16th over of their innings.
Cleethorpes 2nds turned in a decent bowling performance when visiting leaders Alkborough, but the Meggies could not take advantage with the bat.
The villagers managed 191 for six in 48 overs – opener Vaidik Kishan Raj scoring 78 and Graham Wilson 41 as Ian Hallam claimed four for 68.
Cleethorpes were then dismissed for 147 with skipper Andy Haith cracking 45. However, star man Raj grabbed five for 38 in 16 overs.
Meanwhile, all-rounder Ross Dixon (four for 55 and 61) was in superb form as title-chasers Alford & District were thwarted by the weather against Bracebridge Heath 2nds.
Market Rasen and champions Scunthorpe Town also fell victim to the weather, but Messingham recorded a two-wicket triumph against Cherry Willingham.
In Division One, a brilliant century from Rob Griffin helped Holton-le-Clay to a thrilling home win against Louth 2nds.
Griffin, pictured left, stroked 17 fours in an unbeaten 114 after tea, and was well supported by Lewis Gash (47 not out).
Earlier, Louth – who were invited to bat first – had enjoyed a flying start with half-centuries from openers John Medler (54) and Steve Wright (53).
They decided to declare on 200 for eight after 42 overs of the scheduled 45.
But Holton-le-Clay made good use of the extra time, securing victory in the 47th over having lost only four of their wickets.
Elsewhere in the second tier, an impressive performance from Harry Smith (five for 39 and 43) ensured that Horncastle took full points on their trip to Scunthorpe Town 2nds.
Outcasts defeated Appleby Frodingham 2nds, while recently relegated Broughton overcame Messingham 2nds thanks to an unbeaten 81 from wicket-keeper Nick Dobbs.
Scothern and Owmby are still without a win this season after their weekend head-to-head was cancelled due to the rain.
