Cockermouth, after six straight League wins, suffered their first defeat of the season in the T20 competition.
The Cumbria League Premier Division’s 100% leaders lost at home by 11 runs to Wigton in the first game of the north group.
Wigton were asked to bat first and they responded with a satisfactory 148-6.
Opener John Reed got Wigton away well with 44 off 32 deliveries, and that included two fours and four sixes.
Lower down the order Lewis Little (27 off 16) and George Johnston (21 off 19) boosted the total.
John Brown (2-26) and Ethan Hardie-Knight (2-30) were the most successful Cockermouth bowlers.
In the change of format Cockermouth switched their batting line-up but suffered a blow when Greg Platten was out first ball of the innings.
Brown, promoted to open, hit 24 off 23 but it was really regular opener Alex Grainger, coming in at four, who got the innings moving with 59 off 40.
But against some tight bowling and fielding Cockermouth just couldn’t get there in the closing stages.
Lewis Little took 2-16 and Chris Hodgson had 2-28.
