Linton shuffled their pack and it worked wonders as Dean Chipps dismissed Michael Miller (24), Jonathan Crook (3) and Harper (1) to leave Royston in real trouble.
Not to be outdone by his bowling partner Chris Matthews ripped through the Royston middle order claiming the scalps of Rory Harper (27), Harris (28) and Jamie Seabrook (5).
Royston's lower order offered little resistance as Mark Liles removed Bonham Harper (1) and Nick Hooton (1) before Matthews returned to wrap up the innings with the wicket of Kieran Willis-Wright.
