Following Cardy's departure, Mohson Rana (35) steered the home side to their final total as the wickets were shared around, with Richard Murrey (2-30) the pick of the visitors' attack.
New signing Suban Javaid (3-48), from Oxford Brookes University, and Andy Cummings (2-27) then reduced Sandford to 51-5.
Joe Gibbs (4-9) and Joey Todd (1-26), making a welcome return to the club following a spell in New Zealand, made sure there was no way back for the visitors, who collapsed to 111 all out despite Chris Thompson making 40.
It was the side's first win under new skipper Max Smith, moving them up to fourth place in the table.

But then Hussain took charge, hitting 12 fours and a six in his 131-ball stay, with Westcott's total boosted by a massive 69 extras, including 50 wides, as Alimar Khan (28) was the next highest scorer.
Ed Oakley took 2-30 from 10 overs, while Hadi Ali (2-38) and Stuart Berry (2-47) were also among the wickets.
Horspath were never in the hunt in reply. Stand-in skipper Dan Todd (22) top-scored as Waqas Ur-Rehman (4-23) and Nick Thomas (4-34) swept through the order.
