Westbury cruised to a seven-wicket win at Stonesfield to maintain their OCA League Division 1 title challenge on Saturday.

Restricting the hosts to 221-5, for whom Tim Wyatt scored 73, Westbury eased home at 225-3 with Tom Wilson hitting a brilliant unbeaten 99 and Olly Tice 56.

Tom Gurney made 35.

Fringford found Tom Small too hot to handle in their 16-run home defeat by Cairns Fudge in their Division 3 encounter.

Fudge amassed 244-6, with Small hitting 124.

He then claimed 4-61 in Fringford’s reply, John Bacon’s 76 in vain as the hosts were bowled out for 228.

Chesterton went down to a ten-wicket defeat at home to visitors Wolvercote.

Rhys Davies claimed 5-49 to help dismiss the home side for 139, before Richard Stewart led Wolvercote to an impressive victory with an unbeaten 91.

Division 6 leaders Westbury 2nd marched on with a thrilling six-run win at home to Brill, despite the best efforts of the visitors’ Andy Wynd.

Westbury posted 217-8 in their 45 overs, before Wynd hit 94 in Brill’s reply.

But it was not quite enough as they were bowled out for 211, thanks to Charlie Tredwell (3-30) and Will Woodward (3-39).

Four-wicket hauls from Graham Eames and Martin Bowden were in vain as Westcott 2nd lost by 117 runs at Stanton Harcourt 2nd.

Jake Souch made 81 not out in the hosts’ 246-8, Eames taking 4-41 and Bowden 4-57.

However, Westcott were dismissed for 129.
