Horspath posted their first win in Division 2 West with a three-wicket victory to shatter joint leaders Harefield’s 100 per cent record.
After winning the toss and electing to bowl, the hosts dismissed their Middlesex visitors for 144.
Some fine swing bowling from Mark Skelton (4-43) and Will Eason (3-37) reduced Harefield to 68-6, before off-spinner Paul Jeacock helped polish off the tail with 3-19.
Skelton’s victims included dangerous opener Simon Macey and captain Mluleki Nkala, who has made ten Test appearances for Zimbabwe.
Horspath then found runs hard to come by against Nkala, who took 4-35 off 21 overs, and Doug King (3-57), before Adam Krol saw them home with an unbeaten 36.
