SPONDON landed the Jackson Cup for the first time in 36 years when they beat Aston-on-Trent comfortably at Alvaston & Boulton.

Joe Ashdown's 72 was the main score as they reached 160-5 in their 20 overs. His brother Ben (23) and Tom Good (28) helped things along and Chris Windmill added a brisk 17 not out.

Joe Ashdown then secured the man of the match award by taking 3-18 in three overs as Aston were hustled out for 86.

Crown Derby trophies were presented to both teams by the Mayor of Derby, Councillor Barbara Jackson, who received cheques totalling £1,500 from this year's competition, in support of three of her charities, the Alzheimer's Society, the Arthritis Society and McMillan Continuing Care.

Prizes were also awarded for this year's best individual efforts in the cup, to Aston's Rafaqat Ali for bowling (5-12) and to Abdula Habib (Rolls-Royce) for batting (108).
