Oakley needed a brilliant bowling and fielding performance to have any chance of victory and produced team effort to make their manager proud. Opening bowling from Julian Worthington and James Lancaster kept the batsman at bay and as Overton began to chase the game, they started feeling the pressure. Three run-outs and fine wickets for George Lethaby and the excellent Julian Worthington turned the game towards Oakley's way.
Matt Vickers and James Lancaster bowled the tenth and eleventh overs tightly, leaving George Lethaby the last over to bowl. Under enormous pressure, he went for just five off the over to secure victory and a fine an all-round performance by all the boys. Notable contributions from Alex Blackall and Bradley Coates in the field did not go unnoticed as the bowlers recieved the support required to make it a great night for all.
