AN unbeaten 108 from James Davis and 67 from Chris Jones allowed Oxford 3rd to declare on a formidable 257-4 after being asked to bat by Abingdon Vale 2nd.
But their confidence was misplaced as Phil Evans (71), Joe Kettle (67) and
no fewer than 70 extras saw Vale collect a five-wicket win.
Adam Leach took 4-58, but elsewhere Oxford did themselves no favours in the field.

Bledlow Ridge 2nd amassed 238-5 away to Banbury 3rd, but still found
themselves well beaten by a four-wicket margin.
John Rolfe hit 75 and Dave Bird 45 not out to set up a reasonable platform
for Ridge.
But then Julian Briggs (45), Ed Phillips (44) and Alistair Jarvis (50no)
took Banbury to 239-6.
Kai McFarlane was the pick of the Ridge bowlers with 4-60.

John Edgington (58) was the mainstay of Great & Little Tew 2nd's 154 all out
at home to Kidlington 2nd.
But the visitors made light work of the reply despite losing five wickets.

Gary Porter's 3-10 and 54 runs proved the difference as Thame Town 2nd
overcame Wolverton Town 2nd by three wickets.
Asked to bat Wolverton were all out for 153 after 48 overs, which Thame
eventually overcame thanks in no small part to Porter.
