Horspath set for Challow decider in Hartwell Cup

HORSPATH will travel to Challow & Childrey in the Hartwell Senior Cup next Tuesday knowing they must win to be sure of top spot in Pool 2 and a place in Oxfordshire T20 Finals Day at Wormsley on September 17.

The club, who sat out this week's fixtures with five sides in the group, have a perfect record of three out of three following wins over Tiddington, Aston Rowant and Oxford Downs.

However, Horspath can still be overhauled at the top following Challow's 37-run win at Oxford Downs last night with head-to-head results and then net run rate to be used if sides finish level on points.

Opener Shaun Burningham smashed 85 off 52 balls as Challow - who have an outstanding home game against Aston Rowant which is due to be rescheduled - posted 180-4, before Downs were restricted to 143-6.

Meanwhile, Tiddington, who beat Challow last month and entertain Downs next week, also kept their hopes alive with a four-wicket win in a low-scoring contest at Aston Rowant.

Holders Banbury are favourites to win Pool 1 after winning their opening three games. A home match against Cumnor on July 26 completes their fixtures.
