Classic Press Cherwell League - Division 2
Chalgrove shared an exciting high-scoring draw with already-relegated Bletchley 2nd.
Put into bat, Chalgrove recovered from 14-3 to 254-4 due to an unbroken fifth-wicket partnership of 163 between Derek Thomas, whose 145 not out was scored at a run a ball and included 19 boundaries, and Alan Spiers (57 no).
Bletchley were encouraged to attack in reply and, with Aussie import Russell Sissing making 99 and Steve Gordon 76, they had reached 249-5 by the start of the last over.
Steve Strong, who had bowled throughout in taking 4-76, then took four wickets in five balls to reduce the visitors to 251-9, and finish with 8-78.
**Chalgrove 19, Bletchley 2nd 5
