MP SPORTS CHERWELL LEAGUE - Div 4

Bicester & North Oxford’s reign at the top lasted only one week as they were walloped by Wallingford and so slipped to third.

Trevor Spindler (3-34) and Alan Bowman (3-38) did much of the damage as Bicester were bowled out for 104 after being put into bat.

Lee Ainsworth’s 33 set up Wallingford’s reply before Mark Bowman (38no) finished the job as they eased to 105-2.
