Sandford St Martin overcame a middle-order collapse to set Shipton-under-Wychwood 2nd what turned out to be an unassailable target in Cherwell League Division 3 on Saturday.

From 54-1 and 82-2, Sandford slipped to 133-8 before skipper Paul Tanner hit a defiant 53 not out to steer his side to 197.

Shipton stalwart Anthony Prior-Wandesforde (3-48) was the most successful visiting bowler.

None of the Shipton batsmen could get going after tea, with wickets falling at frequent intervals.

Martin Anson took 3-12 when the teams played out a rain-affected draw on the opening day, and fared even better in the re-match, claiming the first five wickets.

At 51-5 Shipton were out of contention, and eventually they fell away to 127 all out.
