GREAT & Little Tew’s Division 1 contest at home Tring Park was abandoned just as they were beginning a run chase on Saturday.

In a match of reduced overs after a delayed start, Tring made 190-4 from 40 overs, and Tew were 23-0 after six when the rain came.

After being put in to bat, Tring got off to a flying start with 43 off the first four overs, before both openers were dismissed at the same score.

Joe Thomas and Lloyd Brick slowed down the run rate, but an unbeaten 81 from 121 balls by Charlie MacDonell ensured they reached a challenging total.

Left-arm spinner conceded on 47 runs in his 13 overs, while Brock picked up two wickets.

In reply, Tew openers Harry Smith and Jordan Garrett encountered few problems before rain ended their progress.

Shipton-under-Wychwood’s Division 1 match away to Aston Rowant was abandoned without a ball bowled.
