Scott McGaughrin took three wickets in four balls to turn Odiham & Greywell's ECB National Club Championship preliminary round tie against Berkhamsted on its head.

With their reply at 130-4, the Hertfordshire League hosts looked odds on to overhaul Odiham's 158-9, writes Mike Vimpany.

But McGaughrin ripped out Berkhamsted's middle-order with a spell of 4-26 which culminated in the last six wickets falling for 25 runs.  Berkhamsted collapsed to 155 all out (Ryan Friend 41) and a surprise three-run defeat.

Earlier, Ed Ikin (28) eased Odiham to 64-1 before three quick wickets fell, leaving Liam Doran (22), Will Kettle (20) and Jack Malden pick up the pieces and steer the visitors to a competitive score.

Odiham's reward is an away tie against powerful ECB Middlesex County League side Richmond at Old Deer Park on Sunday, 1pm - a busy day for the club, with a National Village Cup tie at Hursley Park also on the agenda.

Also aiming to progress in the NVC are Overton, who visit Paultons, and 2023 quarter-finalists Hook & Newnham Basics, who host Tichborne Park at the KGV.

Basingstoke & North Hants launch their NCKO challenge against West of England Premier League side  Corsham at May's Bounty, 1pm.
