Wallasey stretched their lead at the top of the Love Lane Liverpool Competition with an eventful 14-run win at New Brighton.
The Wirral derby - switched to a bank holiday as usual - was the sides' seventh league game of the season. And for the seventh time, Wallasey's Indian left-arm spinner Sumit Ruikar took a five-wicket haul, taking his tally to 41 already.
Ruikar's 6/75, in an unbroken spell of 25.1 overs, included the winning scalp of Scott Sherratt as the last hour drew to a close, after David While's rearguard 51 had ended just too soon for the hosts.
