Todd's 77no sees Horspath 2nd home

15 Jun 2025

Dan Todd made an unbeaten 77 to steer leaders Horspath 2nd to a seven-wicket win at home to Great & Little Tew in Cherwell League Division 2.

Having restricted Tew to 167-9 off 53 overs after putting them in to bat, Horspath eased to 168-3 with Todd leading the charge.

He shared a second-wicket stand of 57 with Dom O'Connor (27), before putting on 95 for the third wicket with Tom Coleman (36).

Todd went to his half-century by clipping a delightful four off his toes through mid-wicket, one of 12 boundaries in his 98-ball knock, which also featured a six over square leg towards the car park.

Earlier, Horspath had produced a disciplined display with the ball to hold Tew in check.

Seamers Max Smith (2-30), Liam Turnbull (2-33) and Ed Oakley (1-22) reduced the visitors to 79-5 with Robbie Eason claiming three catches behind the stumps.

Captain Jack Belmont (46) held Horspath up before falling to the left-arm spin of his Horspath counterpart, Ryan Hicks (3-30). 

The win keeps Horspath 19 points clear of Westbury at the top of the table ahead of next Saturday's trip to fifth-placed Witney Swifts, who lost by 116 runs to Tiddington.
