DIVISION 1 ROUND UP
Kendal close in at the top as both Barrow and Fleetwood fall to the rain.
Preston v Kendal
Jamie How signed off with his time at Kendal with a win after helping his side to a 5 wicket win at Preston.
How who returns back to New Zealand put in an all round display at West Cliff taking 4-21 in the first innings dismissing the hosts for 121, and then hitting an unbeaten 49 in the second innings guiding Kendal to victory.
Preston, who won the toss and opted to bat, saw Sajid Patel top score with 35 and Soaib Dukanwala making an impression with 34 runs.
However for Kendal to bowl out a difficult Preston side for 121 was impressive, with Chris Miller also impressing with figures of 3-33.
