CRICKET: Lefort takes eight

4:57pm Monday 3rd August 2009 in Division 3

Witney Mills seamer Pierre Lefort took 8-28 to rip through Leighton Buzzard Town, who were rolled over for just 42 in Division 3.

Mills were then in trouble themselves as Jack Kempster took 5-8, but they eventually managed to scramble their way to 43-6 and maximum points.

But the chances of a result were scuppered by rain, with Oxford 8-0 in reply.
