WITNEY Mills are celebrating their first win of the campaign, which came in comprehensive style over Bourton Vale.
After electing to bat and seeing his side reduced to 19-2 after 16 overs, captain Pete Claridge justified his decision to bat by scoring 73, and with Ross Morgan (72) led Mills to 226-5.
A great spell from medium pacer Jim Skelson (6-39) did for Bourton's top order, before Daya Nandi Konda (3-36) polished off the tail for a 103-run victory.

Cumnor needed less than 50 overs to dispose of Bledlow Ridge and stretch their lead at the top of the table to 47 points.
Ridge collapsed from 50-1 to 99 all out against the off spin of Dave Hughes (5-25) and the pace of Kiwi Brendon Donkers (3-14).
Graham Scott then hit ten fours and a six in his unbeaten 51 as Cumnor raced past the victory target in just 17 overs.

Kingston Bagpuize are up to second despite only drawing at Henley 2nd.
They made the most of being asked to bat, Martin Shepherd hitting an unbeaten 115 and Dom- inic Pike compiling a fine 111.
Bagpuize's 288-4 always looked too many, but Tom Bugg (102) and Peter Roseff (51) ensured Henley picked up maximum batting points by reaching 223-5. Dick Giles took 5-78.

Another side to regret fielding first were Great & Little Tew, who slip to third after being outplayed by Leighton Buzzard Town.
Rob Ferguson's 112 was the highlight of Town's 247-7, which also featured 51 from Phil Whatmore.
Tew's Aussie skipper Shane Faulkner's 62 then proved in vain as spinners Anthony Francis (6-82) and Lee Selfe (4-77) worked their way through the batting to secure a 52-run win.

Tom Pollard hit 67 and South African Charlie Smook 41 to give Abingdon Vale a good start at Tiddington. Mike Cook (56) took his side to 267-6.
The home side's Riaan Krynauw (54) and Nick Pykett (41) gave Tiddington a chance, but some tight bowling meant Matt Maule (65no) had to settle for a draw on 201-7.
Vale's failure to provide an umpire cost them five points.
