Cumbria collected their first NCCA Championship win of the season at the third attempt this afternoon.

They bowled-out visitors Buckinghamshire for the second time to complete the victory by 158 runs at Furness.

Home skipper Gary Pratt had declared at 196-6, setting the opposition a target of 345 to win in 95 overs.

Could Bucks bat it out, as there seemed little chance of them going for the win, or could Cumbria bowl them out?

In fact Cumbria needed only 56.2 of those overs to dismiss the visitors and earn themselves 23 match points.

Bucks could only console themselves on the way home with just four bowling points.

Pratt had reached an unbeaten 65 when he announced the declaration and Bucks were soon in trouble at 20-2 when they batted again.

Wyll Stanway, on his home Furness track, removed Eliot Callis (10) and Adam King (0).

The best stand of the innings between Alex Woodland (36) and Alexei Kervezee (26) got them to 61 before wickets fell at regular intervals.

Cameron Parson did his best with a battling 43 and he was last out in the end, by which time it was a case of prolonging the inevitable.

Stanway enjoyed his debut with 3-36; Matthew Sempill took 3-82 to give him eight wickets in the match while Matthew Siddall took 2-7.

Cumbria are back in action at the weekend when they conclude their Championship programme away to Hertfordshire.
