It's four out of four for Wallasey in the ECB Premier Division of the Love Lane Liverpool Competition after their 122-run win over Wirral rivals Birkenhead Park.
And it's four out of four for their totemic all-rounder, Indian pro Sumit Ruikar, who took 7/50 - his fourth five-wicket haul in as many attempts.
The only difference today was he starred with the bat as well, finishing unbeaten on 78 in the hosts' 243/4, with contributions from Jamie Crawley, Alex Eagles and captain Greg Beaver.
Once the visitors had slipped from 32/0 to 33/3, it was always going to be an uphill struggle; Safi Abdullah's 56 only delayed the inevitable.
Northern got back to winning ways with an 82-run triumph over Wigan, inspired by Jac Kennedy's unbeaten 100, his first century for the defending champions. Tom Sephton's 7/37 wrapped up the win.
Rainhill were 122/2 chasing 182 at Ormskirk - but their last eight wickets fell for just 22 runs, with Jamie Barnes taking 5/54.
The other three games in the Prem finished as draws. A run-fest at Southport & Birkdale saw the hosts pile up 307/8 against Formby thanks to 107 from Isaac Lea and 92 from Jonny Whitehead; in reply, Callum Turner's 124 led his side to safety.
Newton-le-Willows' Subhaan Mahmood finished unbeaten on 90 as his side held off New Brighton following Owais Shah's 98; and Orrell Red Triangle batted out a draw at Leigh.
