Kimble won the Steve Dixon Memorial Cup on Sunday, beating Banbury 4 by 60 runs in the final held at Marston St Lawrence CC. Batting first, Kimble made a shaky start as Banbury 4 took three early wickets for just 17 runs. However, a stand of 68 for the fourth wicket between Nisar Ahmed who made the top score of 54 and Yasir Hussain turned the innings around and Kimble were eventually all out for 163 in 38 overs. Joe Wetherall with 4 for 31 and Matt Foulds with 3 for 20 were the most successful Banbury bowlers. In reply, Banbury 4 were soon in trouble as Nisar Ahmed removed their top order to finish with 3 for 20. They never really recovered and with Shafaqat Ali taking 5 for 20 were dismissed for 103. Nisar Ahmed received the Player of the Match award.

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
