The unbeaten century helped Sutton’s second string chase down Pinchbeck’s 189-5 in an impressive 31.2 overs.
Pinchbeck, who won the toss and elected to bat, will have felt they made a competitive score at Paradise Field.

Also scoring solidly were skipper Danny Jackson (17), Gary Neumann (15) and Rob Goudling (10 not out) as Pinchbeck almost made 200 in their alloted overs.
For Sutton, two bowlers took the wickets with Josh Baker (2-28) recording impressive figures.
In reply, Sutton were in sensational form. Wright’s terrific ton was the obvious highlight as he cracked an amazing 16 fours en-route to reaching the milestone.
Fellow opener Tommy Sayer was dismissed by Jamie Frost (1-45) for 17, but number three Jeremy Smith proved a fine foil for Wright.
Smith made a half-century that included seven fours before the innings closed with him unbeaten on 56.
