Horspath host Oxon U19 Cup Finals Day

05 Sep 2024

Horspath will once again host the Oxfordshire Under 19 Cup Finals Day at the Recreation Ground on Sunday.
Unfortunately, the club, last year's winners of the Honey-'B' Trophy named in memory of their former player Morris Honey, will not be defending the title after missing out in the group stage.
Instead, the semi-finals will see Banbury, last year's runners-up, face Oxford on Pitch 1, while Aston Rowant take on Cumnor on Pitch 2. Both matches are due to start at 10.30am.
The final and third/fourth play-offs are scheduled to start at 2pm followed by the presentations with the Honey family in attendance.
Horspath finished third in Pool 2, missing out on the runners-up spot to Oxford by virtue of their head-to-head result after they ended level on points. Rowant topped the section.
Opener Charlie Turner smashed 75 off 50 balls in a two-run defeat at home at Rowant, while captain Josh Richardson took 3-28 and hammered an unbeaten 53 from 41 deliveries in a six-wicket win at Tiddington.
Meanwhile, Banbury won Pool 1 on run rate from Cumnor and Cropredy after all three sides finished level on points and head-to-head results.
The club would be grateful to any volunteers who can help on the grounds on Sunday and on the bar.
