Lord of the Rings Anu Agarwal's magnificent seven wicket haul set Twickenham's third string on their way to victory over promotion rivals Shepherds Bush on Saturday.

The veteran off spinner (7-32) continued his return to form to reduce the Bush to 176 all out. Not a bad return at all considering that at one stage they were 100-1 off 18 having been asked to bat.

Geoff Stothert's maiden half century (51) for the club and 30 from 18 balls from Tom Jefferson ensured that the Ts - fuelled by a magnificent spread from Mo Mashar, featuring Caramac Bars - survived the odd wobble in reply to ease home with plenty to spare.

The result leaves second placed Twickenham four points behind league leaders Southgate and - more importantly - 11 clear of the chasing pack.
