Tom Keast scored a half-century and Liam Patterson-White collected 3-37, but both were powerless to stop Cuckney emerging victorious by six wickets against Nottinghamshire Academy.
The visitors to Ladybay bowled out the Academy for 156 after winning the toss and electing to field with former Nottinghamshire second teamer, James Hawley, taking 4-41.
South African batsman Will Butler finished unbeaten on 64, easing Cuckney to victory within 43 overs.
