The Oxford Times Cherwell League - Division 2

ASTON Rowant clinched the title with an emphatic 93-run victory over Banbury 2nd, who picked up enough bonus points to finish out of the bottom two.

Despite being 5-2, Rowant rallied to make 217 thanks to 88 from Paul Plumridge.

In reply, Banbury too began badly and never really recovered from 52-5, as Chris Eaton (3-30) and Chris Watling (3-37) led the way in dismissing them for 124.
