Aaron Onyon grabbed his first opportunity at the business end of the batting line-up with both hands as Bracebridge Heath moved a step closer to the ECB Premier League title.

The league leaders defeated the division's bottom-side Caistor by six wickets on Saturday, though it could've been more emphatic had Caistor not put on a record last-wicket stand of 84 runs.

Lincolsnhire seamer Onyon was the man of the match though, with bowling figures of four wickets for 31 and a knock of 55 at number five in the batting order.

"It was the first opportunity I've had to bat up the order this season. I'm a naturally attacking player and I enjoyed a longer spell at the crease," said Onyon.

The 21-year-old had entered the fray with Bracebridge struggling to chase Caistor's total, with his team at 39 runs for three wickets.

However, Onyon and his South African team-mate Tom Khoza steadied the ship with a century partnership.

"We were looking shaky when I came in to bat. Mark Fell had told me to play my natural game, so Tom and I played our shots and never let the bowlers get on top.

"I hope that after impressing up the order I'll continue to bat at a high position, but I know it's difficult because we bat right down the order."
