Oakley Bandwagon Keeps Rolling

Oakley U13's kept the pressure on the league leaders with a superb team performance against a spirited but inexperienced Yateley at Sean Devereuax Park. Captain Matt Vickers opted to bat first and despite losing in form opener Sam Bully early on, a superb partnership of 55 from Julian Worthinton (24) and George Lethaby (32 ret) put Oakley in control, with cameo roles from Alex Gray, Alex Blackall and Henry Newcombe taking the total to a decent 103 on a big pitch.

Defending the total Oakley bowled and fielded superbly with all seven bowlers taking at least one wicket demonstrating the depth of bowling, and it was particulary pleasing to see the first wickets of the season from Newcombe and Gray to add to those of Worthington (2) Vickers (2) Lethaby (2) Bambridge (1) Clark (1).
