Finchampstead CC and Wokingham CC both win again

JARRETT BOBB took four wickets as Wokingham made it six wins on the spin to stay top of Thames Valley Division 1.

The Oaks have also extended their lead to 28 points over nearest challengers Stoke Green after they were beaten by struggling Finchampstead 2s.

Taking on second-bottom Henley 2s, Wokingham lost the toss at Sadlers End and bowled first.

Dan Housego top scored with the bat

And they made a quick breakthrough with Lewis Sharp taking two early wickets.

Henley pushed on from 13-2 to 73-3 as Bobb took his first scalp, removing Will Legg for 30.

Bobb also took the key wicket of number three Michael Williams, who reached 78 before falling to leave his side 165-6.

From there they stumbled along to 193-9 from their 52 overs with Bobb (4-54) and Sharp (2-8) the pick of the bowlers.

The Oaks lost both openers Stuart Parsons (17) and Stuart Hayter (16), but Dan Housego (89no) and Archie Carter (68no) completed the job in the 38th over to wrap up a convincing eight-wicket win.

FINCHAMPSTEAD’S charge continues in the Home Counties Premier after a 24-run win over Oxford.

Finches, now unbeaten in seven, lost both Andrew House (4) and Dan Marles (16) early.

JJ Dewes took five wickets

But Adam Dewes, now opening the batting following the injury to Greg Smith, produced a

fine innings, ending on 81 off 164 deliveries.

The visitors moved on from 28-2 to 110-3 before Dan Lincoln fell for 37 and after both Dewes and Josh Lincoln (28) were dismissed, Finchampstead were bowled out for 224.

Needing a good day in the field to keep the pressure on league leaders Henley, Finch started superbly to leave the hosts reeling on 89-5.

Jamie Perkin offered resistance with a knock of 54, but Oxford were bowled out for 200 in the 58th over with JJ Dewes (5-66) and Jandre Coetzee (2-14) the leading bowlers.

Marles’ men stay second in the table, 16 points off the top.
