TYRONE Eyles smashed a brilliant century as Horspath 2nd stormed to an emphatic eight-wicket win at home to Tiddington in Cherwell League Division 1.
Chasing Tiddington's 194 all out after the visitors had chosen to bat, Eyles made the most of being promoted to open by hammering 101 off 96 balls to set Horspath on the way to victory at 195-2.
His stunning innings included 15 fours and four sixes as he shared an opening stand of 153 with Christopher Hofen (72no) before falling lbw.
Hofen was also in terrific form, cracking 14 boundaries in his 92-ball knock to see Horspath home.
Earlier, Ed Oakley took 4-29 in Tiddington's innings with Subhan Javaid picking up 2-26 as the visitors were indebted to Nick Pykett (41) and Ryan Chapman (32) for their final total after being reduced to 81-6.
