Cup Final: High Wycombe v Oxford Downs
If you fancy some live sport this Saturday (19th) High Wycombe CC host Oxford Downs CC in the knockout final of this year’s Home Counties Premier League.
Last weekend High Wycombe beat Chesham while Oxford Downs beat a very strong Wokingham side to reach the final, known as the John Goodman Cup.
The match is 40 overs per side & starts at 11.30am at High Wycombe’s London Road ground. Would be nice to see a few Wembley flags hanging from the fencing just to remind the visitors who is now in the Championship.
The weather is set fair so bring your iPad or iPhone to watch the game at Blackburn but you’ll also get a full day of top-level club cricket.

High Wycombe duly won the Home Counties Premier League Cup Final on Saturday win an 8 wicket win over Oxford Downs at London Road.
In glorious weather the visitors won the toss & elected to bat. They made a solid start before losing the first wicket with 70 on the board. At 103-1 Oxford Downs looked in good shape but Dan Marles reduced them to 196 all out off 38.4 overs with a spell of 7-32. Opener Will Watts top scored with 99.
Elliot Callis & A J Woodland made steady progress for High Wycombe and effectively saw the hosts home, Woodland making 84 & Callis 103 not out. High Wycombe gained their victory, making 197-2 off 36 overs to lift the John Goodman Cup & bring the season to a close. The large crowd at least got to see some high-quality live sport for once!
