CRICKET: Keegan too hot to handle

7:47pm Thursday 4th September 2008

Bicester & North Oxford's bid to land the Bernard Tollett Oxfordshire Cup ended in an 82-run defeat in Sunday's semi-final against Henley.

Henley all-rounder Chad Keegan did the damage with 98 off just 55 balls.

The damp, misty conditions meant scoring wasn't easy, but that didn't stop former Middlesex man Keegan.

Chris Ellison chipped in with 38, while Steve West (2-5) was the only Bicester bowler to achieve respectable figures.

Duncan Bradshaw top-scored for Bicester with 40, but they closed on 100-6.
