Skelton and Mohammed star in Horspath 2nd win

MARK Skelton and Jehan Mohammed combined to give Horspath 2nd a crushing 134-run home win over bottom club Sandford St Martin in Cherwell League Division 2.

Skelton picked up 5-45 and Mohammed 4-18 to send Sandford crashing to 114 all out in reply to Horspath's 248-9 after the hosts had been put in to bat. After Ryan Hicks (1-30) had made the breakthrough by dismissing Steven Dobson for 25, Skelton and Mohammed worked their way through the rest of the Sandford order with only opener Ian Reynolds (51) providing any resistance.

Earlier, Dominic O'Connor (46) and Jamie Stead (22) had shared an opening stand of 91 for Horspath, before Tom Beresford (42), Alex Thomas (30) and Skelton (25) weighed in with useful contributions as Simon Smith took 4-77 and Michael Chapman 3-47.
