Sean's service too much for Asians

A tight match in Division One resulted in a two-wicket win for Civil Service over Asians 2nd.

Batting first, Asians found runs hard to come by, especially early in their innings, and were restricted to just 97-5.

Civil Service also struggled with the bat and only squeezed home in the final over, thanks largely to Sean Smith's 30 not out.

Nalgo were unable to defend their total of 107-4 going down by five wickets to Swindon.

Darren Beasant and Aaron Dickinson both made 27 not out for the victors.

New Generation continued to power along in Division 2, slamming Wroughton by 53 runs.

Dassar Rafiq (49 not out) and Mo Farooq (40 not out) batted New Generation to a formidable 147-3 and Wroughton never threatened, closing on just 94-3, with Mike Evans at 26 not out.

Cirencester's slump continued as they lost to Nalgo 2nd by three wickets.

Dan Robbins made 34 as they totalled 132-5.

However they were hampered by conceding 28 extras as Nalgo got home in the last over.

Litten Tree continued to dominate Division 3 with South West being their latest victims.

South West were dismissed for just 77 and Litten Tree were not seriously troubled to win by three wickets.

The battle of the Ramsburys resulted in a comprehensive five-wicket win for the first team.

Despite Kevin Thompson's 35 not out, the seconds could post only 85-5 were beaten with two overs to spare.

The games in Division 4 went to form with Wanborough 2nd beating Motorola by six runs, thanks mainly to David Cox's 44 not out.

Shrivenham 2nd edged out a much-improved Intel by one wicket in the final over.
