Daz Jones was the top Cayton bowler with 3-46.

In reply, Cayton 2nds got off to a solid start thanks to openers Jake Seastron (26) and James Barber (43), but they slipped from 66-0 to 91-6, and despite a rapid 42 from 29 balls by number nine bat Kieran Glave the visitors ended on 184 all out in 34,1 overs, Ben Duell capping a brilliant all-round performance with cracking figures of 5-50, brother Aidan taking 3-46.
