DATCHET stayed in the chasing pack as they thrashed Marlow by eight wickets with the mercuial Tim Alldis ensuring the win.

The triumph was set up by a fine display in the field as Marlow were knocked over for 172 in the last over of their innings havign been 70-6 at one stage.

Mark George made a solid 50 and Alldis 70 not out as Datchet cruised to 173-2 in the 34th over to set up a must win clash with Beaconsfield's second XI tomorrow (Saturday) as the pair try to reel Windsor in.

Datchet captain, Nick Tilley said: "I think anything but a win would pretty much rule us or them out, especially if Windsor win and they've got Cove so I'd expect them to.

"Realistically I think it's one of us, them or Basingstoke to try to catch Windsor so it should be a result game.

"Whoever is going to catch Windsor will have to win every game and hope that they slip up. We will just have to take each games as it comes and try to win them."
