CRICKET: Cook stars for Vale
6:42pm Tuesday 6th May 2008
A fine all-round display by Mike Cook enabled Abingdon Vale to beat North Maidenhead by 65 runs in the first round of the Cockspur Cup and set up a tie against Oxford.
Cook top-scored with 39 as Vale reached 165-8 from their 45 overs. He shared a fourth-wicket stand of 82 with Ed Tilley.
North Maidenhead slumped to 46-6 in reply before being bowled out for 100. Cook took an economical 2-16 in nine overs.
Abingdon are now away to Oxford in the second round on May 18.
Meanwhile, Challow & Childrey lost by eight-wickets in their first-round tie at home to Beaconsfield after being bowled out for 97.
Kidlington's home tie with Thame Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The match has been re-scheduled for Sunday at Stratfield Brake.

‘I was the first person to discover that if you infected a person with Marmite, he would stand up and bark at the moon.” “Everybody under the age of 35 has the intelligence of raspberry jam.” “Children can hear vegetables hiding.”
Sleeping Beauty, Chipping Norton Theatre
There’s nothing King Couer-de-Loup likes more than a good battle: “We’ll march on King Florizel’s wet and wicked army,” he proclaims. His Queen is not so sure, however. She would rather her husband stayed around: there’s the christening of their daughter Princess Aurora to arrange for a start. And he certainly can’t go out and fight looking like that: “Your chain mail’s got a ladder in it,” she wails.
