Hook Norton sealed the Division 2 title in the Banbury Indoor League with an emphatic three-wicket win over Castlethorpe, who are relegated.
Chasing Castlethorpe’s 114-6 off nine overs, which was built around Dominic Spinelli’s 35 and Jon Hill’s 27, Hook Norton stormed home with two overs to spare.
They were helped by Castle-thorpe conceding 44 extras, while Chris Barber saw them home with an unbeaten 26.
Broughton & North Newington are also promoted following a resounding five-wicket win over Sandford St Martin A, who just picked up enough points to stay up.
That left Great & Little Tew A to fill the second relegation place following their three-wicket defeat by Charlbury, who secured victory with one ball to spare.
