Atif Akhlaq led the way with the bat, scoring 44, but Wolverton were bowled out for 200. But the dark clouds rolled in during the interval, and it cut short the game. The D/L system offered Sandford a significantly reduced total, and with Steven Dobson smashing an unbeaten 79, Sandford cruised to 132-2 to win by eight wickets.

The result leaves Wolverton more than 100 points adrift of leaders Westbury and 44 points behind Didcot in the second promotion spot.
