Flitwick.CC Sunday 1^st team are on the brink of the Bedfordshire Premier Division title after a comfortable 85-run victory over Dunstable.CC.

Flitwick were just 10 points off the league leaders Dunstable before the match, but the victory over their rivals has leapfrogged the side into an 11-point lead with one fixture remaining.

An unbeaten 84 from Chamara De Zoysa and 32 from Jake Higgingbottom helped Flitwick post 188 for 9 off their 45 overs.

Zoysa has been in impressive form for Flitwick this season, and the batsman is currently top of the individual runs-scoring table in the league.

Saanwal Ilyas, Sam Marshall & Bradley Matthews all took two wickets for the home side.

But Dunstable lost wickets at regular intervals in their run-chase as the hosts stumbled to just 103 all-out inside 30 overs.

Only two Dunstable batsmen reached double figures with Kalim Khan and Jason Twist the pick of the Flitwick bowlers with figures of 4-39 and 3-31 respectively.

Opener Higgingbottom also finished with very credible figures of 2-7 off 7 overs.

Luton Town & Indians.CC hopes of making a late surge for the title are over after they fell to a 33-run defeat at Ampthill Town.CC.

Ampthill posted an imposing 246 for 6 batting first only for Luton Town to reach 213 for 9 to end any hopes the 3^rd place side had of causing a title upset.

Flitwick will be hoping to confirm the league victory when they face an away trip to bottom side Ickwell.CC this Sunday (2^nd September).

Dunstable also face an away trip on the same day, but to 7^th place Southill Park.CC.
