Banbury never recovered from a disastrous collapse and crashed to a seven-wicket defeat at home to Division 1 relegation contenders High Wycombe on Saturday in the Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier League.

Put in to bat, Banbury seemed to have overcome the worst of the conditions as Lloyd Sabin and Craig Haupt took them to 60-1.

But then the innings disinegrated, with eight wickets crashing for 36 runs.

One batsman to survive the mayhem was Luke Ryan, who scored 43 off 50 balls, as he helped Banbury limp to 133 all out.

Ashley Blanchard raised Banbury's hopes with an early wicket, but the hosts just did notscore enough runs.
