PAUL DEWICK took seven wickets as Wokingham comfortably dispatched of previously unbeaten league leaders Cove in Thames Valley Division 1.

The Oaks, who climb up to second with this victory, won the toss and put the hosts in to bat.

And spinner Dewick took control, posting superb figures of 7-50 as he tore through the order.

Tom Wood and Jacob Clark also picked up a wicket apiece as Cove were dismissed for 162 in the 52nd over.

And Wokingham made light work of the chase.

Stuart Parsons was stumped for nine but solid knocks from captain Stuart Hayter (34), Dan Housego (38) and Archie Carter (52) put the Oaks on the brink.

Michael Bates (16no) and Jack Wood (3no) saw them over the line in under 45 overs.

In the Home Counties Premier, FINCHAMPSTEAD extended their unbeaten run to three matches with a draw against in-form Burnham.

After a series of win/lose matches to start the campaign, this was the first of the timed matches and Finches were left frustrated.

Dan Lincoln powered Finch up to 293 with an unbeaten 79

Batting first, the visitors recovered from the early loss of Andrew House (6) and also Dan Marles (16) to power up from 43-2 to 169-3 after a top partnership from Greg Smith and Billy Rogers.

Rogers fell for 68 having hit seven boundaries while Smith was bowled having made 86 off 142 balls, by far his best effort of the campaign so far.

Dan Lincoln could not be beaten though with a brilliant 79 off just 80 deliveries, including three sixes, as Finchampstead closed on 293-5.

Burnham looked in big trouble at 87-5, but they recovered to close on 204-8 to earn a draw. JJ Dewes (4-58) was the pick of the bowlers.

Champions Finch, who lost their opening three matches, have now soared up to fourth in the table.
