Stewart Laudat returned the best figures of his career as Oxfordshire comfortably beat Cornwall in The Parks.

The win means they consolidate their position at the top of the Minor Counties Western Division.

The Rover Cowley all-rounder took 7-39 and with Keith Arnold picking up the other three wickets, Cornwall were skittled out before lunch for 75. Oxfordshire knocked off the 80 required for victory for the loss of four wickets.

Rob Williams's decision to declare three runs behind was fully justified as Oxfordshire's two seamers forced their opponents on to the back foot from the start and kept them there.
