North London cricket club's men and women’s first elevens both recorded wins at the weekend to extend their leads at the top of their respective league tables.
The men travelled to Harrow and in a low-scoring game were bowled out for 83 in 44 overs.

The women hosted Ealing on Sunday and the home team scored 214 for four off their 40 overs.
