GREAT Alne sit atop Division Five of the Costwold Hills league after two wins from their opening games.
Craig Millard's side fortunately failed to emulate their captain's example and amassed 178-9 after their leader was out for a duck in the first over.
After reaching 100-2 in 20 overs, the villagers wobbled to 140-8 but recovered.
Opponents Catherine de Barnes seconds started brightly but folded after an early wicket to end up all out for 93.
Millard is without all-rounders Robbie Matthews and Neil Margesson for the trip to Kenilworth Wardens on Saturday (2pm start), but hopes to welcome back bowler Ian Blaney.
Blaney was missing at the weekend after suffering a back injury in the opening day win over Emley but hopes to return on Saturday.
