Jack Woodley, who needed a runner after pulling a muscle in the first over, made 58 for Oxford Nondescripts 2nd and helped them to 163 against visitors Abingdon Vale 2nd.

Skipper Andy Haynes contributed 46 against the seam bowling of Guy Lemon (3-41) and spin of Richard Tilley (4-18).

Tom Pollard's 48 and an unbeaten 33 from Dave Wadsworth saw Vale home to maximum points for the loss of five wickets.

Losing five wickets in the last two overs certainly did Banbury Twenty 2nd no favours at Sandford St Martin, where their innings ended at 160-9.

An opening stand of 110 by John Hamilton (75) and Jim Howe (52) then put the home team on the way to a six-wicket win.
