Grantham ended their 50 overs on 239-5, Joe Irving claiming four wickets for the loss of 68 runs.

Harsha Vithana added a dismissal but nobody could account for Grantham’s Daniel Freeman, who ended with an unbeaten 101.

However, a superb team bating performanxce from Woodhall saw them post 242-4 with four overs remaining.

Oliver Caswell top scored with 71, supported by Vithana (49), Prasanna Jayawardene (41 not out), Irving (34) and Brandan Laurenzi (15).
