Batsmen from Finchampstead, Wargrave, Wokingham and Shinfield all scored centuries on another crucial day across the borough.

With just three weeks of action remaining, clubs are tussling for promotion spots and to avoid relegation and Wargrave 3s’ Sam Warren led the charts with a knock of 129.

Wokingham 5s’ Ranjeet Sidhu hit 125 to boost his side’s Division 9 title charge while Naqash Tahir (113) of Shinfield 2s and Finchampstead 5s’ Joe Sheldon (106no) rounded off the top four.

Gary Loveday placed in fifth with an unbeaten 99 for Finch 2s.

Wokingham close in on back-to-back promotions

On the bowling side, Adam Postlethwaite posted figures of 6-61, but could not prevent defeat for Shinfield 3s against West Reading 4s.

Four men also took five wickets in Mark James (Wokingham 5s), Sravan Konidena (Wargrave 2s), Alistair Warner-Rowley (Crowthorne and Crown Wood 3s) and Wynand Lamprecht (Binfield).
