Horspath 3rd claim dramatic one-wicket win

30 May 2023

HORSPATH 3rd pulled off a thrilling one-wicket win at East & West Hendred in Cherwell League Division 3A.
Chasing the hosts' 281-7 after putting them in to bat, Horspath staged a terrific run chase.
Dougal Main led the way with 77 off 57 balls, which included eight fours and four sixes, after opener Dan Todd (52) and Lukas Yendole (30) had laid the foundations with a second-wicket stand of 70. Todd hit nine fours in his 60-ball knock.
The visitors still had plenty to do at 137-5, but Main then put on 88 with Ryan Hicks (37) to keep them in the hunt.
They both fell in quick succession to leave Horspath 226-7, before Jason Cardy (26) edged Horspath closer to the target and last pair Josh Cummings (13no) and Joe Gibbs shared an unbroken stand of 20 to snatch victory at 283-9 with seven balls to spare.
Johnathan Orchiston (3-26) and Ethan Barksfield (3-62) were Hendred's most successful bowlers.
Earlier, Reuben Barksfield (60), Jack Mulford (48), Marselle Cronje (45) and Andrew Francis (36) had been in the runs for Hendred as Cardy took 3-69.
