Freeland became the first winners of the Oxfordshire Under 15 Girls Club Championship after beating Hook Norton in the final.

The 20-over competition is played using a ten-a-side pairs cricket format, with teams starting on 200 and losing runs every time a wicket falls.

Freeland's batters showed their strength from the start, with a string of boundaries taking them to an impressive total of 325.

Abigail Flory was the top-scorer with 21, while Juliet Gardner (3-18) and Emma Rothwell (2-30) starred with the ball for Hook Norton.

In reply, Hooky were never in the hunt as Freeland put in a superb display of accurate bowling and sharp fielding.

Flory capped a fine all-round display by taking 3-8.

Carla Wood also had a haul of 3-8 as Hook Norton struggled to 181.

The trophy was presented by Oxfordshire Youth Cricket chairman Ron Stern.

He said: "This competition has been a huge success in the inaugural season, with nine clubs entering.

"The standard of cricket produced has been very high, and bodes well for the future."
