that's a bingo, five-for for Oxton! Yates goes, swinging across the line in a valiant quest for runs... What a performance from The Ox, who also contributed 39 with the bat, as Charlbury secure a hard-fought 17-run win
Charlbry WCC vs Sileby TLCC, 1st Match at Loughborough, Jul 15 2018 - Match Result
6.30pm: We will have footage of the post-match presentations up on the site later, including an exclusive interview with Player of the Match Lottie Oxton. It has been a historic day here in the East Midlands, credit to Sileby and Charlbury for putting on a cracking show for this NatWest #NoBoundaries match. We'll be back for more - maybe at a club near you - in the not-too-distant future, but from Miller and myself, that's a wrap from Sileby Town CC. Cheerio!
6.20pm: Well, that was a splendid effort by Sileby, who were always up against it chasing almost 200. Molly Rossiter was the leading light of the chase, her 49 the highest score in the match, but Charlbury hit back strongly after a 92-run opening stand. Megan Lovick, Emily Fothergill and Miranda Edwards all made breakthroughts, and then Lottie Oxton cleaned up the lower order to finish with 5 for 36. Surely a leading candidate for the Player of the Match award?
