In reply, Westmill made the worst possible start, when Jones was bowled by Neil Atkins for a duck. Then with the score on nine, Riggs also went, thanks to a brilliant one-handed catch by Jude Preetam Alex.
Martin Beedell (25) and Adam Amos took the score to 50, before Beedell was also sent packing with a splendid catch - with Neil Gilbey reacting quickly.
Amos batted well, and was eventually dismissed for a fine 56, as Westmill were all out for 139, a win that keeps Buntingford in charge at the top.
