Cherwell League Division 3: Morris Motors hired a pitch at Bicester & North Oxford after being kicked off their Crescent Road ground - but it didn't help their cause as they slipped to a 33-run defeat against Dinton 2nd.

Seamer Rashid Iqbal (4-21) and spinner Irfan Shah (4-34) restricted Dinton to 138-9.

But then Warren Thornton (4-27) and Peter Ludlow (4-54) did the damage as Motors were blasted out for 105 in 37 overs.

Morris Motors 13pts, Dinton 2nd 30

The Tiddington seamers reduced Cropredy to 122 all out after they had been 16-5, Peter Cooling (48) leading a mini-revival.

Tiddington had then made 25 without loss when the match was washed out.
