OXFORDSHIRE Under 15s lost their ECB County Cup game on the Isle of Wight with just two overs remaining.
Batting first, Oxon made a solid start with Adam Muttitt and Elliot Day putting on 61 for the first wicket.
Both were out in quick succession, and a procession of wickets followed as Oxon slumped to 111-7.
In real trouble, Oxon were thankful to Josh Megson and Luke Finch, who helped push the score along to 197 all out as they failed to bat out their overs.
The Isle of Wight put on 128 for the first wicket.
Opener Billy Clarke made a brilliant 95, before the introduction of spinner Liam Hare slowed the home side down.
Hare took three wickets, but some lusty blows by Gary Cooper saw the Islanders home.
