Cumnor 2nd beat Horspath by nine wickets in a game that was not as one-sided as the scoreline suggests. Asked to bat, Horspath scored 40 from the first six overs, before they were reined in by Craig Evans (3-56) and Julian Easterbrook (3-62). Martin Hunter then hit 16 fours and a six in an unbeaten 94 as Cumnor passed the 138 to win.

Lee Ainsworth (65) and his brother Warren (52no) put Wallingford in a seemingly strong position at Princes Risborough. But 205-7 proved inadequate as Andy Hitchcock (85) and Dave Linger (62) set up a four-wicket win, despite the best efforts of Matthew Green (5-49).
