Oxenford 1 won the Airey Cup for the second year running when they beat Kingston Bagpuize 1 in a rain-affected final at Banbury CC. There were several interruptions during the first innings which resulted in the game being reduced to 28 overs per side, Oxenford 1 reaching 149 for 8. Shashank Chirra made 53 and Ayyaz Mallick 31, while the most successful bowlers for Kingston Bagpuize 1 were Sam Herbert with 2 for 25, Jordan Smith with 2 for 38 and Jonathan Warner with 2 for 4. Kingston Bagpuize 1 were set a revised target of 160 by DLS and at one stage looked well on target thanks to Jonathan Warner (49) and Jim Lovell (29), but an inspired spell of bowling by Shifiquallah Hussankhi turned the game around and Kingston Bagpuize 1 ended up 9 runs short of the target as they were all out in the penultimate over. Shifiquallah finished with figures of 3 for 26 plus a run out, which earned him the Player of the Match award.
