NANTWICH climb to sixth in the ECB Premier League after recording back-to-back victories.

Outstanding Aussie Steve Paulsen was again instrumental with another top all-round performance that destroyed Neston

Another ton and then 3-35 with the ball at Whitehouse Lane helped the Dabbers to a big 145-run win, last Saturday.

He couldn't have done it without support though and Paulsen got plenty as they set their stall out via plenty of runs.

Captain Chris Hampshire hit 79 while Jeff Maynard smashed an unbeaten 54 along the way but no doubt, the Queenslander dominated in picking up his second century of the summer.

Without Lancashire's Simon Marshall and skipper Ben Thomas, Neston's plight wasn't helped after losing paceman Jason Voros with an apparently serious hamstring injury.

A total of 271-5 was enough to make the declaration after 53 overs with Stimpson the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-84.

Only Hackett offered any resistance as paceman Barrington Browne tore through the batting order.

His 5-35 saw them gone for just 126 inside 33 overs, Paulsen also chipping in.

Another 25 points sees them climb the table but a trip to leaders Hyde is next on Saturday.

Further success followed for the club as they target a hat-trick of Cheshire Under 21 Cup wins.

Nantwich made it through to round four with an eight-wicket win over Chester Broughton Hall.

The bowlers paved the way for success, Phil Stockton claiming 4-23 and Ray Doyle then picking up three in his first over.

Ben Mogg chipped in with a tidy 1-11 from eight overs as they collapsed to 73 all out.

Stockton (20) and Doyle (18no) then paved the way with an easy victory.
