OXFORDSHIRE Under 15s completed a routine six-wicket victory on the Isle of Wight in their latest ECB Under 15 Cup clash.
In May, Oxon posted a mammoth 438-9 against the same opposition as they completed a crushing 289-run victory.
With a number of changes from their previous meeting, Oxon still proved far too strong for the islanders, who opted to bat first after winning the toss.
They were bowled out inside 43 overs for 99, leg-spinner Dan Todd taking an impressive 4-22 from 9.2 overs.
Oxon lost four wickets in their run-chase, but captain Angus Spittles led by example, top-scoring with 35, as they eased to 103-4 with more than 20 overs to spare.
