NCCA Report
Oxfordshire joined Buckinghamshire as the qualifiers from Group Four with an emphatic 118 runs victory over Wales NC at Pontarddulais.
Cornwall needed to win and Oxfordshire to lose if they were to have any hope of progressing and, thanks to a half-century from captain Paul Smith, they were still in the quarter-final shake-up at the halfway stage at Tring.
Seamer Archie Dodds took a career-best four for 52 for Buckinghamshire and his brother, Billy, led their chase with his competition-best 40.
Buckinghamshire stuttered against former Sussex and Kent left-arm spinner Elliot Hooper (three for 29) on debut, and off-spinner Ellis Whiteford (three for 49), but George Harvey steered them to a fourth straight win with an over to spare with 30 not out from 32 balls.
