The first team got off to a flying start in Rutland Division Two with a 95-run defeat of Stewarts & Lloyds on Sunday.
An opening stand of 116 between Matt Rawling (51) and captain Terry Day (117no) laid the foundations for Socon’s 264-5.

In Hunts Division Four on Saturday, an unbeaten 105 from Joe Donnelly inspired Socon thirds to a comfortable victory over Brampton.
Number five Donnelly dominated his 120-run stand with Adam Newman (24no) as they reached 214-6 having elected to bat first.
Andy Canham was the pick of the Brampton bowlers with 4-42 – and then looked good with the bat – but his 30 could not save Brampton as they could only muster 144-8.
