Hopes that Fleetwood CC had turned the corner after their first victory of the Northern Premier Cricket League season were soon dashed as they lost the battle of division one’s bottom two with Fulwood and Broughton by 34 runs.
Fleetwood had looked on course to back up their victory at Longridge as they dismissed their fellow strugglers for 112, only to be skittled for 78 in reply.
Michael Rippon’s 5-18 had helped remove the Preston side in 41.4 overs.
However, Rippon’s 19 was as good as it got for the hosts in reply as Simon Kerrigan took 6-13 from 12.3 overs.
From 68-5, Fleetwood could add only 10 and it was all over in 33.3 overs.
Blackpool climbed into sixth position after an eight-wicket win at eighth-placed Longridge.
The hosts opted to bat first at Newsham, where they completed their 50 overs on 188-7.
Taariq Chieckty made 50 as Longridge initially reached 103-2 before being reduced to 138-6.
Luke Platt led their recovery, finishing 55 not out as Ali Usman picked up 3-21 and Josh Boyne 2-53.
Blackpool scorched to their target, posting 191-2 in only 27.1 overs.
The dismissals of Jake Muncaster (7) and Usman (31) left them 42-2 but Andrew Needham and Boyne added an unbroken 149.
Needham’s 50 not out came at a run a ball but Boyne hit nine fours and seven sixes in reaching 91 not out from only 64 deliveries.
