Porthill Park were chasing 154 to win and saw Mathew Guest (44) and Isaac Willis (38) make decent inroads into the target.

However, it was Aitken's spell which proved to be the decisive one of the day as he helped himself to 6-16 to send the home side slipping to 110 all out.

Cian Gibson had earlier his a half-century to form the backbone of Bagnall Norton's 153 all out.

Gibson's 52 contained seven ours and support was forthcoming from Mark Stokes, who chipped in with 27.

Josh Allman (3-11) and Ethan Plummer (3-29) picked up three wickets apiece for Porthill Park.

Audley seconds banked their third successive win as they saw off the challenge of their Longton counterparts at Kent Hills.

Hosts Audley had Richard Holloway's 50, which included seven fours and two sixes, to thank for steering them to 138 all out.

Huey Nield (29) and Richard Beckett (27) also impressed, but the home side would have disappointed that they couldn't post a bigger total after being 121-5 at one stage.
