TIDDINGTON pulled off a remarkable victory over Great & Little Tew off the last ball, having been set 297. Their heroes were Riaan Krynauw, who hit 105, and Neil Smith, who smashed 78 from 34 balls to take his side to the brink of victory. Earlier, Smith had taken 5-67 in Tew's 297-9, which featured fine knocks from Crial Cullen (76) and Shane Faulkner (65).

To compound the visitors' disappointment, they were docked one point for their slow over rate.

Aussie Godlam Byayat took 8-69 on his Oxford Downs debut, but still finished on the losing side at Banbury 2nd. Jamie Perkin's 56 helped Downs post 176, Ian Adams taking 4-39. Byayat bowled fast and straight to claim all eight Banbury wickets to fall, but former Oxon opener Andrew Sabin (73no) defied him, taking his side to a two-wicket win. Downs' slow over rate saw them lose three points.

Witney Mills put Cumnor in and made the most of bowler friendly conditions to dismiss them for just 129. Jim Skelson (6-58) and Steve Kelly (4-65) did the damage, with only Ali Morteza (45) getting going. The experienced Mark Cannons (40) then held the reply together as Mills got home by six wickets.

Abingdon Vale followed the same strategy as Witney Mills and fared even better, reducing hosts Wolverton Town to 82 all out. Left-armer Danny Hartley (4-37) and the Robin Newman (4-42) took the plaudits. Matthew Chown's un- beaten 36 saw Vale cruise to a nine-wicket win.

Only six wickets fell in a rain-affected affair between Sandford St Martin and Bledlow Ridge. Martin Middleton (87no), Andrew Binnie (61) and three dropped catches enabled Ridge to declare on 237-3. Sandford were well placed thanks to Matt Palmer's unbeaten 101 and Jim Howe's 50, but a further shower cost them six overs and they closed on
195-3.
