U-15s Get Under and Away
After having their fixtures against Thame, Aston Rowant and Oxford fall victim to the weather and then enduring a free week; the U-15 season finally commenced last night with Horspath narrowly defeating Warborough by 10 runs. Sam Saunders with 4 – 6 made short work of the Horspath top order but a spirited stand between Naqash Saleem 37* and Harry Groves 23 restored Horspath’s fortunes and allowed them to post a below par 89-6 in the 20 overs.
