Tew made 101-5 in their ten overs with Shane Faulkner hitting 22 and Phil Slatter 21.

Cropredy reached 95-5 thanks to Nathan Hawkes (29no) and Luke Cherry 24, but it was not enough Preston Capes retained their Division 1 status with a comfortable five-wicket victory over Hinton.

Hinton were dismissed for 78, which Capes easily passed thanks to George Arblaster and Rob Williams, who both scored 25 not out.
