BEANACRE won for only the second time and although they are still rooted to the foot of the Division Two table their win has dragged their opponents Seagry down to ninth, two points adrift of Burbage.

Seagry made a useful 222-3, with Alex Farraday contributing a fine 114 not out.

Beanacre were struggling until Roy Veacock (72) and Andy Storey (73 not out) added 140 for their eighth wicket and helped them to a two wicket victory.

There is no change at the top of the table with the top three sides all winning.

Leaders Spye Park entertained Swindon Civil Service and dismissed them for 148. Andy Mildenhall (49) and Mike Giddings (36) top scored as Sam Cotis took 4-46 in 12 overs and John Beal 4-22 in 14.

Spye then went on to a six wicket success thanks to Dave Beal (55 not out), Richie Bowater (44) and Ross Paget (31). Mildenhall was the pick of Civil Service bowlers with 1-41 in 12 overs.

Second placed Lechlade stormed to a ten wicket victory at Sutton Veny. The home side scored 210-7 thanks to Andy Frost (85 not out) and Doug Small (60). However a superb 140 not out from Matt Coe, ably backed up by Roger Pettifer's (57) saw Lechlade knock the runs off in just 32 overs.

Cooper-Avon Tyres kept the pressure on the leaders as they overcame visiting Buscot Park by five wickets.

Hamish Millar (52), Chris Cook (53) and Ronny Fernandez (40) took Buscot to 182-6, with Andy Hunt taking 3-48 in 15 overs. Nathan Mantle (37 not out) and Derek Wilde (35) then top scored and with useful contributions from their other batsmen Cooper-Avon gained victory with seven overs to spare.

At the other end of the table, Burbage and ER carried on from last week and gained the scalp of Urchfont.

Burbage scored 179-9 thanks largely to Terry Strong (41 not out) and Pete Amor (40) as Wayne Williams took

3-36 in 15 overs and Stuart Walmsley 4-59 in 12 for Urchfont. Then despite Cosmo Cupid's 60 Urchfont were bowled out for 150, Archie Swatton taking 3-19 in seven overs.

BELATED congratulations to Box on lowering leaders Marshfield's colours last week.

Box batted first and thanks to Tony Trotman (68) and Malcolm Bond (64 not out) posted a useful 205-3. Marshfield in response were kept to 198-9 as Neil Pettit took 4-72 in 15 overs and Gerald Hayward 3-54 in 15 leaving Box winners by seven runs.

In Saturday's bottom of the table clash with Nationwide House, Box struggled early on for runs against Martin Harman, 2-44 from 15 overs, and Mark Morris, 1-25 from 11. With Dave Kelly making a patient 31 Box were on 88-2 after 30 overs.

The last 15 overs however produced a further 133 runs as they ended with 221-6 thanks to some aggressive use of the 'long handle' against the change bowlers, with Malcolm Bond making 47, Dave Crawford 34 and Gerald Hayward 27.

Even Morris suffered as his last two overs went for 23 runs, giving him final figures of 2-48 from 13 overs.

Nationwide made a flying start by contrast with Shane Thompson (87) and skipper Kevin Flay setting off at five an over and a third wicket partnership of 79 between Thompson and Eddy Roofe (33) took them within striking distance. Nationwide finally won by five wickets with two overs to spare. For Box, John Tooth, with 2-42 in 11 overs, was the pick of their bowlers and Malcolm Bond shone in the field.

After last week's slip up, Marshfield returned to winning ways at Potterne.

Thanks mainly to Graham Gaiger (63) and Lee Sanders (39), Potterne closed on 175-9. Dan Watson (81 not out) and Tom Crockett (55) made light work of this target as Marshfield raced to a seven wicket victory in just 23 overs.

Great Bedwyn's challenge seems almost over as they lost at home to third place Calne. Bedwyn struggled for runs as Lian Botes took 6-27 in 15 overs, only George Stone (42) enabling them to total 130-8.

Steve Richards (54 not out) then led Calne to a six wicket victory.

Bath Civil service consolidated fourth place as they made 147 all out at home to Purton, Richard Cope (34) and Matty Smith (29) top scoring as Toby Bowler took 4-34 in 15 excellent overs.

Purton were then dismissed for 108, Martin Sansum top scoring with 28 and John Cook taking 3-16 in nine overs.
