He shared in a second-wicket stand of 91 with Joey Todd, who completed back-to-back half-centuries with 88 off 116 deliveries with 14 fours and a six.
Todd had earlier put on 97 for the first wicket with Tejas Anand, who took his chance after being promoted from the 3rd XI following successive tons, with 55. He hit 10 fours in his 64-ball knock.#
Stand-in skipper Robbie Eason ensured there was no let-up for the Sandford bowlers by smashing an unbeaten 63 from 54 deliveries with four boundaries and two sixes as he shared a stand of 96 for the third wicket with Ahmed.
Sandford were then blown away by Du Toit (5-14) and Subhan Javaid (3-32) with Todd completing a good day with four catches behind the stumps.
It was left to Charlie Turner (2-13) to wrap up the victory in style by shattering the stumps of Sandford's last pair.
The stunning victory not only saw Horspath roar to the summit, but also open up a healthy 13-point lead over previous leaders Challow & Childrey, who visit the Recreation Ground this Saturday.
