In Division One, Burnham-on-Sea bounced back from last week's one-wicket defeat at Weston by the narrowest of margins with a one-run win against Huntspill & District.

Brad House top scored with 44 and Keiran Tasker made 28 as Burnham totalled 149-6, but Matt Osmant led the Huntspill reply with 80 as they seemed set to reach their target before a late collapse saw them finish on 148-8 to concede victory by a single run.

Nathan Gimblett took 2-32 and Archie Stamp claimed 5-17.

Weston made it two wins in a row with a 29-run victory over Lympsham Allsorts.

They posted 142-6 as Ryan Davies (42 not out) and Andy Fear (29) led the way, with Marcus Neil taking 3-32.

Jamie Howson (32) steered Lympsham's reply, but his demise ended their challenge, as Fear (2-9), Matt Kearsey (3-12) and Tahmid Ahmed (3-23) combined with the ball for Weston.
