Drayton's Deepak Sahoo fired his maiden century for the club and was out just before they completed a six-wicket win over Caister. Earlier Michael Mario-Ghae claimed four for 30 for Drayton.

Nick Day hit 73 and Ian Parkin took four for 55 to hand Overstrand a 43-run win over Happisburgh.

Sam Butcher's 105no for Eaton proved just enough as they beat Bungay A by one run in Division Three, despite Tim Porter's 66.

Keith Nicholls fired an unbeaten 79 for Great Yarmouth A, but it could not stop visitors Kirkley & Lowestoft Railway A winning by eight wickets.

In Division Four, Hingham's Dale Weston took five wickets and conceded just four runs from 12 overs, including eight maidens, as his side beat Aldborough A by 60 runs.
