U13s Win Again


The U13s won through to the Finals Day at Bicester this Sunday after securing a 10 run victory over Cumnor.

After overnight and morning rain conditions were testing. Horspath were inserted and set a competitive total of 65. Captain Assad Rafiq led from the front with a commanding innings of 24. Lloyd Belcher, normally seen in Horspath colours, was the pick of the bowlers with 3 - 5.

Horspath's strength lies with their bowling and fielding, and devastating opening spells by Assad 4-7 and Kamal Hamid 3- 4 reduced Cumnor to 9 - 7. However an excellent stand between Curtis 22 and Hodder Williams 21* recovered the situation but with the required run rate continuing to rise Cumnor's innings closed on 55-9.
