BINFIELD
moved into the semi-finals of the Berkshire section of the National Village Cup following a dramatic 1-0 victory in their bowl-off at home to Peppard Stoke Row on Sunday.

With play washed out the week before, the two sides managed to get 14 overs in before the rain returned, the hosts standing on 55-2 having lost the toss.

This meant a bowl-off where all 11 players from both teams would deliver one ball, and Binfield followed in the footsteps of their footballing neighbours, who play in the FA Vase final on Saturday, by sealing progress in the shoot-out.

PSR went first, but fell behind when Ian Goddard struck with the hosts’ second effort, and remarkably the next 17 players all missed the target to allow Binfield through.

Visiting wicket-keeper Mark Lambert was the nearest to hitting the stumps for PSR.
