Elliot Ruff slammed 50 off 28 balls as Horspath 2nd preserved their seven-point lead at the top of Cherwell League Division 2 with a convincing 129-run victory over lowly Leighton Buzzard Town in a rain-affected encounter at the Recreation Ground.
With Horspath put in to bat and their innings reduced to 51 overs following rain, before being cut to 43 overs after a further downpour, they posted 180-7 dec from 40 overs.
Dan Corner (46) and Robbie Eason (35) laid the foundations with a stand of 69 for the third wicket, before Ruff stepped up the pace.
His explosive knock included six fours and three sixes, bringing up his half-century with successive maximums in a stand of 68 with Corner before he was caught by Adam McNeil at long on off Lee Selfe's next delivery. Ejaz Ahmad (3-38) was Buzzard's most successful bowler.
Skipper Ryan Hicks's declaration saw Buzzard set a target of 181 from 42 overs, but they were soon in disarray with Will Eason (4-23) tearing through the top order.
Hicks (3-11) then mopped up the tail as the visitors crashed to 51 all out inside 27 overs.
Horspath are at home again next Saturday against eighth-placed Oxford 2nd, whose home game against Tiddington was abandoned due to rain.

Horspath 3rd's eight-match unbeaten run in Division 4B came to an abrupt halt as they crashed to 48 all out and a 172-run defeat at third-placed Stonesfield with skipper Daniel Farrant (8-31) doing the damage.
George Redknapp (49), Andy Oliver (48) and Tim Wyatt (42) took the hosts to 220-7 after being put in to bat despite tidy spells from Erasmus Du Toit (2-34), Azlan Sharif (2-38) and Joe Gibbs (2-43).
But then Horspath's hopes disappeared in a clatter of wickets to Farrant's devastating 14.2-over spell.
Despite the defeat, the side remain second ahead of next Saturday's home game against Oxenford 2nd, who beat Chipping Norton by five wickets.
Skipper Craig Wharton starred with 85 as Horspath 4th gained the lion's share of the spoils in a rain-affected draw at home to third-placed Bledlow Ridge 2nd in Division 6C.
Wharton held the innings together, hitting 14 fours in his 95-ball knock as the hosts posted 178-9 off 37 overs after being put in to bat.
With no other batsman reaching double figures, the total was boosted by 48 extras including 41 wides as Theo Ward took 6-23.
Horspath then held Ridge to 158-8 with Adrian Manger (3-40) pegging the visitors back, before James Crosby (2-33) picked up a wicket in the final over to secure the hosts an 18-13 points return. Opener Ben Hillary (34) top-scored for Ridge.
Horspath remain in eighth place with a trip to seventh-placed Clifton Hampden, who lost by seven wickets to Abingdon Vale 2nd, next up.
