Wroxton 1 and West Ilsley 1 played an amazing final of the Telegraph Cup which saw both sides score over 200 runs. After electing to bat, Wroxton were soon in trouble, slumping to 28 for 4 as West Ilsley made early inroads into their top order. Callum Henderson did most of the damage, finishing with figures of 3 for 24. However, Wroxton managed to turn things around thanks to Basit Ahmed with 54, Assif Hussain with 63, and a fine unbeaten 53 at the end by number 10 batter Jignesh Patel. In reply, West Ilsley suffered an early setback, losing a wicket in the first over, but they steadied the ship thanks to a stand of 90 for the second wicket between Tim Fowler and Adam Pusey, followed by another stand of 90 for the third wicket between Pusey and Jude Brankin-Frisby. Pusey was finally out for a magnificent 110 off 117 balls including 14 fours and a six.This led to a pulsating final few overs as West Ilsley tried to home in on the target, but in the end they couldn't quite make it and closed on 218. Jignesh Patel won the Player of the Match award for his knock at the end of Wroxton's innings and an exceptional fielding display.

The Airey Cup final will take place on August Bank Holiday Monday at Banbury CC (White Post Road). The final will be contested by Kingston Bagpuize 1 and Oxenford 1, starting at 12:30 pm
