Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier League

Great & Little Tew slipped to a 53-run defeat at the hands of Dinton in Division 2 West.

Set exactly 200 to win, the Oxfordshire side were skittled out for 146.

The result leaves them still in danger of the drop, but the abandonment of the game between strugglers Falkland and Cove should be enough to secure their Home Counties Premier League status.

Tew started brightly, taking three wickets before Dinton had reached double figures, but a half-century from Henry Woodward helped them recover.

Ashley Hubbert was the top-scorer in Tew’s reply, but only two other players made double figures.

Scores: Dinton 199-9 (50 ovs, H Woodward 58, R King 32, L Manley 3-47), Great & Little Tew 146 (40.3 ovs, A Hubbert 43, J White 33, A Gibbins 3-20, T Brooker 3-39).
