Fritha Morris took six wickets and conceded just six runs in a remarkable spell that included three wicket maidens and a hat-trick as Oxfordshire Under 15s eased to victory against Buckinghamshire at Chalgrove.

Bucks opted to bat first and were soon in trouble.

An early run out from Hannah Tweddle was followed by a wicket apiece for Elspeth Walker and Maryam Faradoon.

But when Morris was introduced, Bucks had no answer as she ripped through them to skittle them out for just 39.

After surviving an excellent opening spell, Oxfordshire eased to a seven-wicket win. they batted sensibly to win by seven wickets, captain Sam Moore fittingly scoring the winning runs with a four through midwicket.
