CHERWELL LEAGUE

Divisions 6-10

KAMRAN Ahmed’s 7-80 was not quite enough for Oxford & Bletchingdon Nondescripts 2nd to defeat Aston Rowant 3rd in Division 6.

Nicholas Smith hit 61 not out and Garry Adamson 56 in Nondies’ 236-8, Geraint Hughes taking 3-31.

Rowant held out on 154-9, despite Ahmed’s efforts.

Cumnor 3rd’s Robert Shrimpton took 7-60 in vain as they were battered by Bledlow Village 2nd in Division 7.

Ben Moore (39) and Andie Witney (34) helped Bledlow to 187 all out as Shrimpton shone, but Cumnor were then bowled out for 73, Jim Spooner taking 3-15.

Philip Wood was another seven-wicket star, but his haul of 7-38 came in a winning cause as Tiddington 3rd beat Kimble 2nd by 43 runs in Division 9.

Graham Wakefield led the way with 45 in Tiddington’s 170 all out, Derek Pocknell taking 5-44.

Jonathan Stackhouse made 48, but Wood’s salvo saw Kimble skittled for 127.

Bradley Bryant took 6-11, including a hat-trick, as Shipton-under- Wychwood 4th beat Oxford & Bletchingdon Nondescripts 4th by nine wickets in Division 10.
