Parmar's ton saw Thame squeeze in at 165-9 - despite the efforts of Chas Taylor (3-26) and Ollie Murrey (3-44).
Earlier, Sandford had slumped to 78-5 after deciding to bat first before rallying thanks to Paul Tew (50 no) and Ian Johnson (43 no) to finish at 162-5. Ian McStay was Thame's best bowler with 4-38.
