North Cotswold cruised through with an eight-wicket win over Buscot Park.

Rob O’Kelly top-scored with 31 not out in Buscot’s 94-8, but Jack Groves (30no) led North Cotswold home.

Reigning champions Aston Rowant reached the last four with an eight-wicket win at Shrivenham.

The hosts posted 92-6, before Andrew Tolson (33no) and Tom Condon (31no) led Rowant to victory in only 13 overs.

In the quarter-finals of the Ron Maudsley Plate, Oxford A saw off Horspath by 53 runs.

Batting first, Oxford rattled up 115-4, before restricting Horspath to 62-8, despite 30 not out from Daniel Todd.
