Bottom club Cumnor slipped further adrift at the foot of the table after going down by 27 runs to Shipton- under-Wychwood.

Former Oxfordshire skipper Phil Garner clips the ball away for Shipton against Cumnor

Putting Shipton into bat, Cumnor then had to watch Stewart Gillett (75) and in-form Phil Garner (71 no) lead their side to 217-6, a tireless Gareth Brown taking 4-110 in the process.

Despite losing five overs through rain, Cumnor fought back, led from the front by skipper Adam Cook's valiant 94, but they were all out for 190.
