DAN Murphy’s late spell and a half-century from Nick Moorman helped Bicester & North Oxford cruise to a seven-wicket victory at home to Cherwell League Division 3 leaders Wolverton Town.

It started inauspiciously for the hosts, with Wolverton taking 19 runs from Trevor Price’s first over.

But Dan Savin took two wickets as Wolverton had limped to 76-4.

Then Murphy (4-28), in tandem with Danny Clark, took the final five Wolverton wickets for just 21 runs to bowl the visitors out for 131.

Nick Moorman (51no) and Matt Collins (29) put on 61 for the Bicester opening stand.

But three wickets fell cheaply before Ryan Moore (22no) joined Moorman and their 59-run partnership saw Bicester over the line.

Westbury went back to the top with a crushing 233-run victory over hosts Cublington.

The visitors racked up 302 all out and then shot Cublington out for 69.

The visitors reduced Tiddington to 20-3, before Nick Pykett hit 41 off 40 balls.

But wickets kept on tumbling, Bilal Afzal taking 3-10 and Fawad Khan 3-44 as Tiddington were all out in the 41st over for 156.

Twyford reached 46-1 before losing four wickets for no runs, including opener Shabaz Alam for 27.

From that position, Twyford never recovered as Harry McNeilly

(4-12) and Neil Smith (3-20) shot them out for 115.

Oxford & Bletchingdon Nondescripts posted a rare victory in Division 2 as they ran out 47-run winners at Leighton Buzzard Town.

home.
