Bourton Vale saw off already-relegated Hanborough to finish top of the table.
Jamie Noble's 83 set up Vale’s declaration with the score on 221-5 after four of the five wickets had fallen to Richard Brown (4-49).
Ryan Newhook then bagged 4-46 as the home side were dismissed for 177, Craig Wood running out of partners on 40 not out.
Hanborough lost the five points they had earned because they failed to provide a scorer.

The result meant the home side overtook Banbury in the final table to finish fourth.
