CRICKET: Horspath go top

12:00pm Tuesday 15th June 2010 in


MP Sports Cherwell League - Graham Scott's Match Of The Day

Horspath climbed to the top of Division 1 for the first time this season on Saturday, and few would bet against them being in the same position after the final round of matches on September 4.

But they made a meal of overcoming winless Oxford Downs, despite bowling out their visitors for only 122.

In a thrilling finish Horspath scrambled the winning runs through their last pair.

Downs, who are rebuilding under new skipper Darryl Woods, had batted well in all five of their matches before the weekend and would have to post a challenging target on what is normally a fast-scoring ground.

However, they were bundled out in 48.3 overs by Horspath’s mercurial paceman Mohson Rana, who took 4-29, and medium pace swing bowler Will Eason (3-23).

After the interval Horspath also found run-scoring difficult, limping along at barely three runs an over while losing wickets to Downs’ seamer Calum Taylor (5-50), whose productive spell was ended prematurely by injury.

But they just had enough to get over the winning line in the 40th over.

Ha ha, good Will, I think you know me well enough to understand that I didn't bottle it, I was wasn't good enough to hit the bloody thing! Check the stats out, I have now clocked up 4 ducks in a row, it seems appropriate that I had the wheels nicked off my Audi last week!

I have more points on my license than Rowant have this year. The Mighty Path are the best village team of that there is no doubt. Will Eason is a hero and in no way he looks like the only gay in the village, that is just stupid, and if he is, what he does in his own time is down to him STEPS fat bloke!

Did Rowant play Oxford last night in the 20-20?

I think they just lack a little punch this season in the HCPL, something is missing from their squad from last season.

Oxford progressed with relative ease! Sales on poor hoodies and poor sunglasses will rise and crowds will be flooding back to butts way!
