SANDHURST moved a step closer to the Division One title with a 149-run win over Bradfield.

Anthony Clapham produced the star performance with bat and ball as the Camels moved a step closer to the title.

Adam Birch (26) and Andy Tutty (16) got Sandhurst off to a solid start, but it was top scorer Clapham who added the backbone to the innings with 77 runs.

Aron Shallom added 20 but it was left to tail enders Naz Rajlawat (38) and Ross Fagan (38*) to push the score up to a respectable 226-9.

An inspired six-over bowling spell by Clapham saw him take four wickets for just three runs as Bradfield slumped to 77 all out. Title contenders Welford Park slipped to a five-wicket defeat to Ruislip Victoria. Welford made 193-9 in their allotted overs but a century from Yakub Vora (107) proved vital for Ruislip as they reached the target with five wickets to spare.

An unbeaten innings of 94 by Ollie Carrier saw Goring beat Crown Wood by seven wickets.

Crown Wood set a target of 181, largely thanks to Suraj Puttige (70) and Azharudeen Mahroof (62).

But they were unable to halt Goring's run chase after excellent knocks by Carrier and Owen Tong-Jones (49).

Elsewhere Waltham St Lawrence suffered a losing draw against Ibis Mapledurham while Stratfield Turgis beat Farley Hill by seven wickets.

Ross Ditchburn (78) helped Farley Hill post 178-7, with five of the wickets taken by Stratfield's Steven Brown (5-44). In reply, Stratfield finished 182-3 with notable contributions from Steve Clarke (81*) and Daniel Spence (78).
