A SUPERB century by skipper Richard West helped Oxfordshire to victory in their Tom Orford Trophy clash with Bedfordshire at Queen's College.

West was playing a supporting role as Ali Morteza continued where he left off the previous day.

But when he fell for 95, which came off just 84 balls, West took centre stage and smashed a tremendous 117 not out.

The declaration meant Oxon had two sessions to bowl out their opponents, and although they fell just short, still did enough to win on the first innings scores.
