Mighty Oaks march on as Finches fall short again

Dan Housego says Wokingham's batsmen must improve

Dan Housego scored an unbeaten 79 to guide Wokingham to a third straight victory in Home Counties Premier 2.

The Oaks continue to sweep aside most of the competition in the second tier and they took another step towards the promotion spots with a seven-wicket win against Harefield at Sadlers End.

The visitors won the toss and opted to bat first, but Wokingham took to the task well claiming two early wickets thanks to Iain Muirden and Lewis Sharp.

Lewis Sharp took three wickets

Simon Myles and Paul Dewick then got in on the act as Harefield stumbled to 95-4.

Muirden took six wickets last weekend and he continued his fine form again to remove top scoring Daniel Ogden (49), which led to the visitors only managing 188-9 from their 58 overs.

While it looked like a more than achievable target for the Oaks, they got off to an horrendous start with both openers Stuart Parsons (5) and James Bird (1) falling cheaply.

But from 14-2, Wokingham pushed along to 113 before the next wicket fell with Simon Myles departing having scored 56.

Housego continued, reaching 79 off 118 balls with he and fellow coach Michael Bates (45no) at the crease to see the victory over the line in 46 overs.

Up in Home Counties 1, early batting wobbles proved costly as FINCHAMPSTEAD lost at Slough.

Finches won the toss and opted to bat first but were stunned by a string of early wickets which saw them sitting on 37-4 with Andrew House (10), Greg Smith (6), Shiv Jindal (1) and Simon Bell (10) all sent back to the pavilion.

But the duo of the returning Adam Dewes and Ryan Quinn putting in an important partnership before the latter was clean bowled having scored 22 off 56 balls.

Josh Lincoln quickly came and went without scoring but good knocks from Dewes (61), Dan Lincoln (56no) and Rehan Akram (46) helped Finch post a competitive total of 235-9.

Dewes and Akram took their good form into the second innings with an early wicket apiece, but Slough produced a composed innings to cruise across the winning line.

Shahid Yousaf led the charge with an unbeaten 116 and while Dewes took a second wicket of the day, the hosts won the game by seven wickets after 51 overs.

Finch sit third from bottom of the table and they host third-placed Tring Park on Saturday.
