VICE-captain Cooper Payne says Studland will savour their moment of glory after victory over St Georges propelled them to the top of Division One.

Studland completed a hat-trick of wins by chalking up 63-run triumph over their Dorchester-based rivals in the only match to survive the inclement weather.

Colin Lewis (73) and Paul Osborne (56) underpinned Studland’s 217 for nine, St Georges’s victory target reduced to 202 off 39 overs by a rain break.

But John Powell (3-63), Phil Lewis (2-5) and Terry Manning (2-38) ensured they came up well short as St Georges were shot out for 154.

Payne, who doubles-up as the team driver, said: “It is a superb feeling to be top of the league, even though we know we won’t be there for too long.

“We simply can’t compete |with the big-town clubs in the league so we will enjoy it while it lasts!”
