Eaton Socon 2nds snapped a four-game losing run with a 169-run rout of Hampton. Dan Wood (70) and Karthik Jagadish (60) helped the locals to 254-6 before they dismissed their Peterborough opponents for just 85 with Ryan Vale (3-15) leading the way.
Fiaz Mirza delivered his best-ever bowling figures to help Alconbury see off Godmanchester Town 2nds by 90 run in Division Two.
