THE combined wiles of Abingdon Vale's experienced seamer Robin Newman and
left-arm spinner Paul White proved too much for Great & Little Tew.
The morning leaders collapsed to 97 all out at Hales Meadow, with Newman
taking 4-44 and White 3-19.
Vale lost five wickets, but were never in any danger of losing.
**Abingdon Vale 30pts, Great & Little Tew 8
South African Goolam Bhayat hit 73 and then took 4-29 in 11 overs as Oxford

commanding 5-52.

Tiddington's South African import Riaan Krynauw again proved his worth by
hitting 87 at quicker than a run a ball in his side's four wicket win at
Sandford St Martin.
John Talbot contributed 62 as Tiddington successfully chased Sandford's
221-6, which featured 62 from Matt Palmer and an unbeaten 59 from 28 balls
by Martin Anson.

For a time, it looked like Witney Mills' 165-7 may prove enough to see off
Banbury 2nd, but the visitors steadied the ship to claim victory and top
spot.
Sagar Nandi Konda top-scored with 38 for Mills, who then reduced Banbury to
95-4 with Calum Taylor (50) back in the pavilion.
But Mark Haupt (35no) and skipper Jamie Briggs (34no) ensured there were no
further alarms.

Wolverton Town's Arshad Mahmood (5-36) and Andy Gosling (4-53) combined

Hussain's 40 not out, which included three dropped catches.
