Bourne made progress in two cup competitions after a victory double over the weekend.
They secured their place on Saturday at the finals day of the Winkworth Cup before making progress in the ECB National Club Championship 24 hours later.
It was a thrilling run chase on Sunday that secured a three-wicket win at the Abbey Lawn against visiting Bishop’s Stortford.
The Hertfordshire side had batted first and made a healthy 259-9 from their 40 overs with opener Jake Carder leading their charge.
The Australian cracked five fours and nine sixes in his 147 off just 105 balls before he was caught by Jack Berry off the bowling of Corey Young.

Young, Colin Cheer and Freddie Arlott all took two wickets each before Bourne set about their run chase.
They were inspired by Jonny Cheer who smashed 11 fours and three sixes in his 97-ball 107 which kept Bourne on track for victory.
Pete Morgan made 32 and Jordan Temple added 26 as Bourne edged closer to a win which was secured off the third ball of the final over when Adam Binns blasted a six to set up a trip to Sawston and Babraham in the next round.
That success came after Bourne had topped their group in Saturday’s qualifying stages of the Winkworth Cup at the Abbey Lawn.
The reigning Lincolnshire Premier League champions – who lost in last season’s final at Sleaford – were three-wicket winners over Grantham and then defeated Spalding by seven wickets to seal their place in the last four.
They bowled Grantham out for 64 in the opening match as Rob Bentley took 4-14 from his four-over spell.
Corey Young and Colin Cheer both chipped in with two wickets each as opener Qundeel Haider top-scored for Grantham with 30.
An unbeaten 18 from Sam Evison then steered Bourne home with 10 balls remaining after Jonny Cheer had made 17 for the hosts.
Bourne then restricted Spalding to 87-6 in the next match as Young, Colin Cheer, Bentley, Evison and Jack Berry all took a wicket each.

Ethan Lawrence top-scored with 20 for Spalding who were defeated in the 16th over as Pete Morgan made 39 while Jonny Cheer cracked an unbeaten 25.
The final match of the group saw a nail-biting finish between Spalding and Grantham who both finished on 102.
However, Spalding took the win by virtue of losing fewer wickets (six) than Grantham’s seven during the 20 overs.
Lawrence had made 28 and Jon Manton added 22 as Spalding batted first. Grantham then closed on the same score but wickets from Brandon Andrews (2-24), Mitch Freeman (2-15), Nilantha Atapattu (1-18), Harry Birch (1-15) and Will Gardner (1-8) secured the win.
Market Deeping were unable to stop Sleaford’s bid to retain their crown.
After their hosts had beaten Nettleham by seven wickets, Deeping defeated the Lincoln side by 18 runs.
Hayatullah Niazi struck an unbeaten 40 as Deeping made 104-5 and then took 3-26 as Nettleham were restricted to 86-9.
Josh Smith and Matt Mills both bowled miserly spells of 2-9 and 2-8 respectively to set up the winner-takes-all showdown with Sleaford.
Henry Cooper then promptly floored Deeping’s victory hopes as he smashed nine fours and three sixes in an unbeaten 84 to help Sleaford post 171-1 from 20 overs.
Fellow opener Tom Shorthouse also struck a half-century to leave Deeping with an uphill task in their reply.
David Sargeant made 31 and Niazi added 22 but they were restricted to 77-6 as Sleaford joined Bourne, Scunthorpe Town and Woodhall Spa in the finals day.
Both Bourne and Market Deeping are in action tonight (Monday) in the opening round of the Stamford Charity Cup.
Bourne host Castor at the Abbey Lawn while Deeping travel to Uppingham.
