Winning Run Continues

Oakley were worthy winners against Alton on a beautiful morning at Oakley Park yesterday. Another fine bowling display by Oakley reduced Alton to 86 all out, with stand out bowling jointly coming from Worthington and Lethaby with identical figures of 4-11-1-3. The target should have been less but for some tiredness in the field allowing a decent last stand from Alton as they rallied from 48-8.




Oakley reversed the batting order to give opportunities to lower order batsmen, and Grey (4) Brown (7) and Newcombe (9) all contributed well, before leaving Lancaster and Bulley to set about the Alton attack at destructive rate, with Bulley proving there was to be no "After the Lord Mayors show" performance after blast weeks 32 n.o with another 30 n.o appearance taking his average is a staggering 87 this year in all competitions.

With Bulley retiring and Worthington going for 5, this left Lethaby and Lancaster to comfortably see Oakley home with Lancaster finishing the game in style with a thumping six
