DORSET spinner Jack Leach bagged 6-21 as they skittled Lincolnshire for 118 to lift the Minor Counties Championship title at Dean Park this afternoon.
Set 254 to win in their second innings, the Eastern Division pennant holders began the last day of the final on their overnight score of six without loss.
But Leach, who is on Somerset's books, wreaked havoc on a turning pitch as he plundered six wickets, with Glyn Treagus (2-10), Ed Denham (1-19) and Mitch Wilson (2-12) also weighing in as Lincolnshire were dismissed soon after lunch.
Western Division winners Dorset emulated their 2000 title-winning team by clinching a 135-run victory after scoring 245 and 262, with Lincolnshire grabbing 254 in their first innings.
