Good Catch

Oxford, who reached 30, seemed well settled down to when one of his bettlest siny hits was held by Len White at mid-on. This was a good catch and Len will probably still be feeling it over the rest of the week.

Oxfort went at 167 and the Innings carried on to 170 for nine in 133 minutes

On an easy wicket there was no very good bowling, but a steady attack backed by very smart fielding, added to the fact that a very strong Scorpions's batting side was very much in an off-day mood, put Army South Into a very strong posi- tion and the Scorpions had to fight for a draw.
