Old Owens are back on top of the Herts Cricket League Championship after a five-wicket win at home to Dunstable Town.

They bowled the visitors out for 154 in 39 overs, Robert Sibley and Luke Peters taking three wickets each with the latter claiming 3-4 in three overs.

And a strong start with 55 for the first wicket paved the way for Owens' success as they got home with overs to spare.

Rhys Carter top-scored with an unbeaten 37, with Peters there with him at the end on 31 not out, and there were a pair of 35s from openers Matthew Plater and Stephen Williams.

They now lead Bishop's Stortford by three points with the potential winner-takes-all clash between the two on Saturday.

Datchworth's promotion hopes though took a hit in Division Three A as they lost to rivals Letchworth.

Gary Hitch hit 44 not out as Datchworth made 135-8 but Letchworth rattled off the runs for the loss of just two wickets to move above Datchworth into second.

Tewin meanwhile suffered a shock loss to Ickleford but stay top of Division Five A.
