HORSPATH 4th need just five points from their final match of the season to complete a remarkable clean sweep for the club.

With their first team crowned Division 1 champions last week, their 2nd and 3rd XI’s wrapped up their respective league titles this week.

The second team beat Abingdon Vale 2nd by nine wickets to claim the Division 6 crown, with their third side’s draw with Aston Rowant 3rd in Division 7 enough to take the title.

Horspath 4th’s nine-wicket win over Aston Rowant 4th in Division 10 means that they need five points against Didcot 4th this week to give their club all four titles – an outstanding acheivement.

Elsewhere, Didcot 2nd wrapped up the Division 8 title with a three-wicket win over Leighton Buzzard 3rd.

Tom Kennedy’s 5-19 helped bowled Buzzard out for just 57.

And although they lost wickets at regular intervals, Didcot limped over the line at 60-7 to secure the championship.

And Chearsley 2nd are the Division 9 champions after they picked up the point they needed in a thumping 177-run win over Abingdon Vale 4th.
