Banbury Twenty can sew up the Cherwell League Division 1 title if they beat Buckingham tomorrow.

But they will have to do it with a depleted side.

Skipper Dave Burbidge is away on honeymoon, Phil Densham is on holiday and Mike Wedderburn is also out.

Buckingham are almost at full strength for a game which they must win to guarantee their Division 1 statuts for next season.

Long-time leaders Shipton-under-Wychwood are nine points behind Twenty in second.

They must beat already relegated Leighton Buzzard and hope that Twenty slip up. At the other end of the table, Rover Cowley have skipper Martin Oliver and Colin Ball unavailable for their relegation showdown with Oxford Nondescripts.

Nondies currently occupy the second relegation spot, but Rover are just two points ahead of them.

It promises to be a mouthwatering finale, and one in which the batting of Rover's Oxfordshire star Stewart Laudat could prove decisive in the closest relegation battle for several years.

Cumnor's game with Thame does not have a great deal riding on it in terms of league placings.

But the game could see Thame's Manoj Parmar score the 18 runs he needs break the magic 1000 barrier for the season for the first time in Cherwell League history.
