STEEPLE Langford firsts got back to winning ways with a hard-fought nine-run win away at relegation-lurkers Winterslow.
Langford's depleted squad, missing five regular first-teamers, saw the visitors come up trumps in County Division 4 North.
Adam Dhanji was the pick of the bowlers, with his 3 for 37, helped by Darren Harvey 2 for 26 and Nick Partridge 2 for 45.
Elsewhere, in a game where 479 runs were racked up, Steeple Langford came out on top, just.
They ran out victors by one-run against Ampfield and North Baddesley seconds.
