Atlantis produced a spectacular performance to beat Ibstock by 269 runs in the first round of the County Cup. The Atlantis batsmen clocked up the highest score of the round, 329, despite being bowled out in 36 overs of their 40 overs. Asfaaq Patel hit 107, Mubarak Patel 102 and Soyub Patel 65. Pace bowler Younus then took 5-16 off eight overs as Ibstock were skittled for 60. Atlantis secretary Iqbal Haidar Ali said: "We've got some batsmen in good form at the moment, Asfaaq hit about 12 sixes." They will be hoping for a repeat at Market Harborough in the second round. Shree Sanatan Centre and Maher Stars will also represent the Leicestershire League at that stage. Prakash Modha (96) and Kapil Dhabhi (53) helped SSC to 227-8 against Narborough & Littlethorpe. Badal Pandya then took three wickets as the home side were held to 201-7 despite an unbeaten 61 from Nick Cooper. Maher Stars had a walkover against Shepshed Town. But Asian Sports lost by 21 runs to Newbold Verdon of the Senior League. Ryan Wykes (73 not out) and Gareth Bell (58 off 44 deliveries) steered Newbold to 212-5. Mark Wilkinson (4-8) and Joe Cartwright (3-45) reduced Sports to 148-9 before Nimesh Patel (59) and BD Patel (22 not out) ensured a thrilling finish with a last-wicket stand of 43, but it was not quite enough. Leicester Caribbeans are the second Senior League team through after they overhauled Kirby Muxloe's 134 all out with two wickets in hand.
